LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEETS

TOPIC: SELECT AND USE FARM TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT
Background information for learners:
Fishing like hunting was used by early man to secure food for survival. Nowadays,
people who live near the sea or areas with brackish water get into fish cultivation for profit or
home consumption.
For beginners who wanted to engage in aquaculture, it is proper to learn and familiarize
yourself with these farm/fishery tools.
Hand tools were designed for specific purposes. They are available in various types,
shapes, and sizes with different degrees of hardness and varying forms. Each hand tool is
designed for a particular job and should be used for the purpose only. Using a tool other than
its intended purpose can cause discomfort, pain, or injury.

LEARNING COMPETENCY WITH CODE:

1. Identify fishery tools and equipment according to use. (TLE_AFAFCAP9-12UTEIc-d-4)
2. Conduct pre-operation check-up in line with the manufacturer’s manual. (TLE_AFAFCAP9-

Please Practice Personal Hygiene at all times. 22

CLOSURE:
In real life, estimation is part of our everyday experience. For students, estimating is an
important skill. We want students to be able to determine the reasonableness of their answers.
Without estimation skills, students aren’t able to determine if their answer is within a
reasonable change.
Knowing the formulas, conversions and basic mathematical operations in fishery art /
aquaculture will give us better results in any work activities in the workplace. Always have a
guide whenever calculating problems like conversions and formulas. It is also necessary to
know how to measure objects, area, volumes, and weights.
