INTRODUCTION

A machine is a simple object which makes our work easier to do.

Many objects in the school and at home such as a pair of scissors, bottle opener and cutlass, are examples of simple machines.

In science, anything that makes us to use less energy to do much work or overcome a large force is called a machine.

Examples of simplest machines are the levers and pulleys.

INTRODUCTION

A pulley is a wheel that has a smooth groove in its rim, with a rope passing through the groove. At times, there are loads that are too heavy to lift.

 

MEANING OF PULLEY 

A pulley is a simple machine that is used to lift heavy objects. A simple machine for overcoming this difficulty is the pulley.

 

 

EXAMPLES OF PULLEY MACHINES

1. Flag pole

2. A sewing machine

3. Photocopy machine

4. Spring balance

5. A grinder machine

6. A modern elevator

7. A crane

 

TYPES OF PULLEYS

Basically, there are two (2) types of pulleys:

Single Fixed Pulley

A fixed pulley’s wheel and axle stay in one place.

A good example of a fixed pulley is a flag pole: When you pull down on the rope, the direction of force is redirected by the pulley, and you raise the flag pole.

Movable machine

A movable pulley is a pulley that is free to move up and down, and is attached to a ceiling or other object by two lengths of the same rope.

Examples of movable pulleys include construction cranes, modern elevators, and some types of weight lifting machines at the gym.

Compound pulley

A compound pulley is a combination of fixed and movable pulleys. The third type of pulley is the compound pulley, which consists of combinations of fixed and movable pulleys.

The more complex the pulley, the more the effort needed to move the object decreases.

COMMON APPLICATIONS OF PULLEY As stated in examples.

 BASIC TECH PRIMARY 6 SECOND TERM LESSON NOTE

 

INTRODUCTION

In the school and at home, we see many moving things. We move about on our legs, vehicles move on roads, trains on the rails, aeroplanes fly in the sky and ships sail on the seas.

Movement occurs when a force is applied on a thing or object. That is, force causes things to move.

It can also prevent things from moving.

 

MEANING OF FORCE

A force is a pull or push on a object. That’s, force opposed movement or causes objects to movement. For example, car’s accelerator and break or to change direction (steering).

TYPES/EXAMPLES/ EVIDENCE OF FORCE

There are many types of forces, but only five are discussed below:

1. Muscular Force

2. Gravitational Force

3. Magnetic Force

4. Electrical Force

5. Frictional Force 

DEMONSTRATING DIFFERENT TYPES OF FORCE

EFFECTS OF FORCE

A force acting on an object may cause the object:

1. to change shape and size.

2. to start moving.

3. to stop moving.

4. to accelerate or decelerate.

Strategies & Activities

Step: Teacher revises the previous topic

Step 2:Teacher introduces the new topic.

Step3:Teacher  endeavors to explain all the points to the pupils thoroughly.

Step 4: Teacher welcomes pupils’ questions.

Step 5: Teacher evaluates the pupils.

 

Assessment& Evaluation

1. Define force.

2. Give three examples of Force.

3. Describe the effect of force on materials.

 Summary: Teacher goes over the topic once again to enhance better understanding.
