6. -15. Give 5 classifications of farm tools and equipment and give 1 example each.

16-20. Why do we need to know the uses of the different tools and equipment before using it?

“Ok Class pass your paper in front.”

Answer Key:
1. Hand Tools
2. Farm Implements
3. Sickle/scythe
4. Wheelbarrow
5. Combined Harvester

16-20. We need to know the uses of the different tools and equipment before using it so that thes tools and equipment
will make its life span longer. Knowing the uses helps us perform the tasks easily. If we do not use it correctly, it will
easily break or damage and will not function well. It can cause accidents as well.
