IV. PROCEDURES
A. INTRODUCTION Start the class by asking questions.
Say: What do you use when you want to cut paper, open a bottle, or slice a piece of fruit?
How do different materials you use help you?

Show some pictures and let the pupils identify if simple machine or not.

Say: Simple machines make our work easier and faster. Machines can be found be found everywhere.

Now, Let’s Play a game! FIND ME! Identify different hidden tools in the picture and explain their uses.

Example answer:
Scissors – use for cutting
Pliers – use for bending or griping
Hammer – hitting or removing nails.
Long nose pliers - Use to grip small objects, reach awkward places, holding wires, bend loops, and attach wire
Screw driver - used for screwing (installing) and unscrewing (removing) screws
B. DEVELOPMENT Simple machines are machines that have been used since ancient times. These have been developed to make work
lighter and less difficult. There are six simple machines, namely: lever, wheel and axle, inclined plane, wedge, screw, and
pulley. Each simple machine has its own use and has different functions. These will help you do work in many ways. It can
transfer force from one place to another. It can increase the amount of force you apply to a certain task. It can also change the
distance, speed, and direction of the force.

Simple machines include lever which is a straight or curved rigid bar that is free to turn about a fixed point.
All levers have fulcrum or fixed point, point of effort, and the load which is being moved. Levers are of three classes. Class 1
lever has fulcrum between effort and load; class 2 lever has the load between effort and fulcrum; and class 3 lever has the
effort between the load and the fulcrum.
Another kind of simple machine is pulley. A pulley is a grooved wheel that turns around an axle which is held in place
by a mounting bracket. A rope or wire moves along the wheel’s circumference. Pulley has three points of interests namely:
fulcrum, point of effort at the end of the rope, and the resistance or load to be lifted.
An inclined plane is another kind of simple machine. It is a plane tilted in an angle with one end higher than the other.
Another simple machine is a screw. It is a spiral inclined plane. It is composed of cylindrical body with a spiral ridge called
thread. The thread surrounds from the tip to the head.
On the other hand, an inclined plane or two inclined planes that meet each other to form a sharp edge is called a
wedge. Wedges are typically good for cutting and piercing. Examples of wedges are knives, axes, pins, and nails.
The last kind of simple machine is the wheel and axle. It is a simple machine that has small disk or shaft called an
axle that is attached to a wheel. The wheel may be a complete wheel or a crank that turns like a wheel. Examples of wheel
and axle are doorknobs, steering wheels, screw driver, pencil sharpeners and meat grinders among others.

Learning Task 1: Find and encircle the word inside the box related to simple machines. Refer to the statement below for your
answer.

1. A plane tilted at an angle with one end higher that the other.
 2. A straight or curved rigid bar and device which has a fulcrum and fixed point, the effort end where force is applied
and the resistance end where the load is located.
3. Double inclined plane that is sharpened to an end. It adds more force to the effort as it goes through a longer
distance.
4. A spiral form of inclined plane that is wrapped around a central shift.
5. It is modified wheel and axle. A special type of wheel that is rope sliding on the groove of the wheel.
6. A machine that has a small disk or shaft called an axle that is attached to a wheel.
Learning Task 2: Classify the following pictures of simple machines according to its kind.

LEVER WHEEL AND INCLIDED WEDGE SCREW PULLEY

AXLE PLANE
C. ENGAGEMENT Say: The six simple machines work differently from each other. Although some simple machine may be somewhat like each
other, there are distinct differences that set each simple machine apart. Remember that simple machines discussed in this
lesson are:
▪ Simple machines are simple tools that make work easier and faster.
▪ Simple machines can be categorized as: inclined plane, lever, pulley, screw, wedge, and wheel and axle.
▪ Simple machines help us lift, pull, change the direction of the force, split, cut or fasten things.
▪ We all use simple machines everyday: to open a door, to turn on the water faucet, to tie up our shoelaces, to go up or down
a flight of stairs, or even just to eat.

Learning Task 3: Modified TRUE or False. Write the word TRUE if the statement is correct and if not, underline the word or
statement that sentence incorrect and write the correct answer on the space
provided.

________1. Simple machine makes our job easier and faster.

________2. There are five kinds of simple machines.
________3. Wedge is a slanting or sloping surface that connects a lower level to higher level.
________4. Pulley is a simple machine that uses a rope, belt or chain wrapped around a wheel.
________5. A Inclined plane is a simple machine with at least one slanting side ending in a sharp edge.

Learning Task 5: Plan It Out: “Damage house” The pupils will identify all the simple machines needed to repair the house.
