Hello, young learners! Welcome back to Primary 1 Basic Science & Technology. In our previous lesson, we learned about No previous lesson found.. Today, we’re going to learn about the Uses of Simple Machines on the Farm.
Objectives
By the end of this lesson, you should be able to:
- List two examples of simple machines on the farm and their uses.
Uses of Simple Machines on the Farm
Simple machines are tools that make work easier. They help us to move things, lift heavy objects, and change the direction of force.
Examples of Simple Machines on the Farm
Some of the simple machines used on the farm include:
- Wheelbarrow: A wheelbarrow is a simple machine that helps to transport heavy objects, such as soil, manure, or crops, across the farm.
- Shovel: A shovel is a simple machine that helps to lift and move soil, sand, or other materials.
- Pump handle: A pump handle is a simple machine that helps to pump water from a well or other source.
Their Uses
The main uses of these simple machines on the farm are:
- Wheelbarrows are used to transport large quantities of fruits and vegetables easily across the farm.
- Shovels are used to lift and move soil on the farm.
- Pump handles are used in the farm to pump water from the well.
Evaluation Questions
