A DETAILED LESSON PLAN

IN SCIENCE VI

I. Objectives:
Given the necessary materials for an experiment, the pupils
should be able to:
1. Identify, define the three simple machines, and state the differences
and similarities in the use of simple machines.
2. Dissect a broken appliance or toy, and group according to category
of simple machines

I. Subject Matter: Simple Machines: Lever, Wheel and Axles, Screw

References: BEC SCIENCE VI
Materials: Broken toys or appliances, screw drivers, pliers, hammer,
worksheets
Concept: 3 simple machines
1. Lever – a lever is a stiff bar that rests on a support called a
fulcrum which lifts or moves loads
2. Wheel and Axle – A wheel with a rod , called an axle, through its
center lifts or moves loads.
3. Screw- A screw is an inclined plane wrapped around a pole which
holds things together or lifts materials.

I. Procedure:
Teacher Activity Students Activity
A. Pre-Instructional Activities
1. Review (through game) (Force)
Let us recall our past
lesson about force and Pulley. Group
yourselves into five(5) and each of
you should cooperate.
I will ask the 1st question,
and the first group that will give the
correct answer will be given a 1pt
and they will ask a question that will
be answered by the other groups.
The group that will ask a question will
be given a 3pts. The group that will Grp1
answer correctly will be given a 2pts. -Ma’am force is pushing or pulling
on an object we give its energy
What is a Force? and cause it to move, stop or
change direction
(question to the other groups)

-Who is the scientist who

(Facilitating) introduced 3 basic laws of
motion?

Grp2
-Sir Isaac Newton
(question to the other groups)

-Enumerate the 3 basic laws of

motions?
 Grp3
-the 3 basic laws of motions are
Law of inertia, Law of
acceleration, and Law of
interaction
(question to the other groups)

-What is the Law of inertia?

Group4
-All objects resist changes in their state of
motion
-What is the law of acceleration.

Grp1
-that heavier objects require more
force to move the same distance as
lighter objects.
(question to the other groups)

-what is Law of interaction?

Last Question for the group
Grp2
-that for every force there is a reaction
force that is equal in size, but opposite in
direction.
(question to the other groups)

-What equipment did we use to

show this motions?
End game
Grp3
- Every time you move something, use your
-Pulley
pencil, or walk, you are using force.
These forces are examples of everyday life,
because that is what a force is, everyday life.
-Every day you use force to make your life
easier. Sometimes it is hard to understand how
forces help you.

2. Motivation
- I will show you a picture, and tell me
what can you see?

Picture A Picture B

-ma’am Picture A is a SHOVEL

-ma’am Picture B is SEESAW

Picture C Picture D
 -ma’am Picture C is a WAGON
-ma’am Picture D is a SCISSOR

-ma’am Picture E is a SCREWS

Picture E

-Yes ma’am

-ma’am it is use for digging.

-Have you tried riding in a Wagon or
playing with the seesaw? - Yes ma’am
-What is the use of a shovel?
-Did you ever use a scissor before or a
screw?

B. Presentation

-What you saw in the pictures are

examples of simple machines.
-Let us take two example from the
picture

“the Wagon” Wagons are used for

transporting people or goods.

“The Scissor” are use for cutting

Scissors are used for cutting various thin
materials, such as paper, cardboard,
metal foil, thin plastic, cloth, rope and -ma’am it is a machine that makes our
wire. Scissors can also be used to cut hair work easier.
and food.

From the examples

What is a SIMPLE MACHINE?
-Listening
1)Discussion

There are 3 types of simple machines:

1. Lever – a lever is a stiff bar that
rests on a support called a fulcrum
which lifts or moves loads
2. Wheel and Axle – A wheel with a
rod , called an axle, through its center
lifts or moves loads.
3. Screw- A screw is an inclined plane
wrapped around a pole which holds
things together or lifts materials.
2)Demonstration
- We will watch a video clip (1:36sec)
that will demonstrate and illustrate
the different types of simple machines
and its uses.

Title of video “Dr. Skateboard's Action

Science - Simple Machines” -ma’am the Lever, The Wheel and Axle
and the Screw
Downloaded:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?
-ma’am the 1st type of simple machine that
v=72ZNEactb-k Dr. Skateboard introduce was the Lever
which is found readily on a skateboard
- What are the simple machines that
were illustrated and demonstrated by
Dr. Skateboard in the video clip?

-How simple machine interrelated in

the video to each other to function a
skateboard?

It has an upturn area in front and as well

at the back of the board

The upturn area access the lever for

the rider and helps lessen the force
excreted for the rider while jumping
on an obstacles like rocks on the
streets . it also act as a controller for
the rider from moving from left to
right.

2nd type of simple machine that Dr.

Skateboard introduce was Wheel and
Axle.
It provides transportation and lifting power

And the 3rd type of simple machine that

Dr. Skateboard introduce was the Screw
It helps as a fastener for the board and the
 wheel

4) Assessment
Given different examples of simple
machines, group it according to
category of simple machines. Lever,
Wheel and Axel, and Screws -Screws
-Wheel and Axle
-nails -Lever
-sharpener -Lever
-pencil -Lever
-bottle opener -Lever, Screws, Wheel and Axle
-nail cutter -Lever
-Can opener
-Spoon and fork
5) Evaluation (pen and paper)
-State 3 simple machines that you use
in your daily life. Identify and its
category of simple machine. Explain in
2-3 sentences why simple machines
are important.
- when I wake up in the morning I use
toothbrush to brush my teeth. It is a
Lever.
- I ride my bicycle in going to school. It is
a Wheel and Axle
- I use a bag which has a zipper for me to
access my school materials easily when I
need it. It is a Screw

- simple machines make every day

life a lot easier without a bunch of
technology. It is a Eco friendly for
our environment

6) Assignment:
I will give you a Rube Goldberg design
brief on the task that you and your
team members are to successfully
complete.
Go through the design process to help
you complete the task. Make sure and
choose a leader for your group. Also,
choose a recorder to keep notes as
you move through the process.
Develop 5-10 questions along the way
that can be answered before the
product can be manufactured. This is
a team effort. Everyone needs to be
involved. Keep portfolio. In this you
will have notes,stitches, ideas and
questions CAD drawings and anything
else for the completion of the task.
