I. PREPARATION:

Title: SCREW THREAD

1) Objectives: (At the end of the lesson the trainees will be able to)

1. Define Screw Thread

2. Explain the elements of Screw Thread
3. State the uses of Screw Thread
4. State the care & maintenance of Screw Thread

2) Teaching Aids: White board, marker pen, duster, pointer, chart, and original objects
3) Introduction
a) Review: Tap, die, tap sets
b) Motivation: Threads play very important role in engineering field for assembling various
parts, power transmission, load lifting, precision movement of the parts, etc.

4) Care & maintenance 1. Use same pitch of screw for assembly

2. Never over tight the screw.
3. Apply oil when idle.
4. Do not hammer the thread.

III. APPLICATION:
1) Define screw thread
2) What is pitch?
3) Name any two elements of screw thread
Summary: Summarize the lesson with reference to the objectives

IV. TEST:
Assignment:
1. Draw a neat sketch of a thread and name the elements?
2. What are different uses of the thread?
