WHAT I CAN DO?

In this part, the learners are given life-related activities that will allow them
meet the learning expectations. These real-life or authentic activities
should allow them to perform particular tasks or produce products in
various forms. The activities should strengthen the KSAVs learned during
the D phase.

WHAT ELSE I CAN DO?

The activities in this part of Engagement Phase should really help the
learners to be engaged in learning and further understanding their
learned concepts through various real-life activities. The learners should
further engross themselves to feel and stay connected with the target
concepts using varied activities.
This part exposes the learner to additional real-life situations/ tasks that
shall ignite his/her interests to meet the expectation, make their
performance satisfactory or produce a product or performance which lead
him/her to understand fully the skills and concepts.

While we’re doing farm activities, some tools might be

damaged, sometimes you might experience injuries due to
incorrect use of tools.

Now let’s Identify and apply the correct safety measures

when using hand tools and basic agricultural equipment
and implements by doing the activities below:

ACTIVITY 9
Brainstorm: The learner can ask their parents, guardians
and/or housemates to join with him in exchanging of ideas.
Think of a time when someone got injured on your farm
through the use of hand equipment and write down what
happened.

Now write down why you think that happened and what could
have been done to avoid this from happening.

MY NOTES:

ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:

1. What does “health and safety” mean in context to the use
of hand tools:
 Preventing injury to oneself and others.
 Preventing damage to the equipment.

2. What possible injuries could one sustain if you did not

handle tools and equipment correctly and properly?

3. What kind of damage one could cause to the infrastructure

and crop if one did not use tools and equipment correctly.

4. How can you prevent injury from the tool?

Say: We explore possible problems and malfunctions that

might be experienced during the use of hand tools and explore
how this may be remedied. We will further discuss the
importance of reporting problems that with tools and
equipment as well as the correct procedure to follow to report
a problem or malfunction.

Say: Broken or damaged tools can cause injury or accidents

in the workplace. The quicker problems are reported, the
quicker the tool can be fixed or replaced and the less the risk
or injury. Broken or incomplete tools must not be used but
placed in a special place for it to repaired or adapted. This will
prevent injury and will enhance the life of the tool. Persons
with proper training and skill should repair tools. Preventative
maintenance like fastening loose nuts or shafts will greatly
reduce the need for large-scale repairs.

ACTIVITY 10

Recognize and act on problems related to the use of hand

tools and basic equipment in an agricultural environment.
Relate in writing what you would do if the following scenario
took place:

You arrive at work, it is pruning season. The pruning shears

were thrown into a bucket of water and some of them are now
rusted and blunt. Also, some of the springs are missing or non-
operational. What do you do?

The hand tools or basic piece of equipment if used

incorrectly may be damaged and need preventive
maintenance. Safe and correct handling and
maintenance of hand tools is very important.

Every farm has a different maintenance schedule and it is

important that you are familiar with the schedule implemented
on the farm where you work. There will usually be a routine
schedule for particular tools that states how often
maintenance checks have to be performed. These will also
specify the checks that have to be performed. Some tools may
require daily checks and maintenance after use. Other tools,
such as power tools, usually must be checked once in 6
months or so.
ACTIVITY 11
Perform routine maintenance tasks to agricultural tools
and equipment.

WHAT I HAVE LEARNED?

This part should bring the learners to a process where they shall
demonstrate ideas, interpretation, mindset or values and create pieces of
information that will form part of their knowledge in reflecting, relating or
using it effectively in any situation or context. It also encourages learners
in creating conceptual structures giving them the avenue to integrate new
and old learnings leading to their personal perception on what they have
learned.
Presentation of what they have learned may be presented in various
forms such as the use of prompts, graphic organizers and the like. This
portion promotes the use of reflective learning.

A. GULAYAN SA TAHANAN: The traditional concept of

Gulayan sa Paaralan which involve physical cleaning with the
use of farm tools, soil preparation will no longer realize but still
we can continue this by the help of our parents as we replicate
this project in your home as “Gulayan sa Tahanan” despite
of the pandemic we experienced today.
ACTIVITY:
