Okay please listen carefully and attentively

because after the discussion we will have we will
have our short quiz.

Okay class did you understand our discussion? Yes ma’am

“Very good! Now let’s classify them according
to its uses.”

Classification of farm tools and equipment:

1. Hand Tools are the simplest tools since they

are used with your bare hands in performing
farm operation and practices in a small farm or
vegetable garden in the backyard or in school.

a. Cutting tools
b. Digging tools
c. Lifting tools
d. Leveling tools

2. Farm Implements these are accessories which

are pulled by working animals or
mounted machineries (hand tractor,
tractor) and which are usually used in the
preparation of land. These are usually made
of a special kind of metal.

a. Plow
b. Harrow
c. Rotavator
3. Farm Machinery
a. Combined harvester
b. Hand tractor
c. Four wheeled hand tractor

You will be grouped into 6 groups. Start by
counting 1-6. Each group has the corresponding
classification and will report the uses of the farm
tools and equipment that you have answered.”

Group 1 – Cutting Tools

Group 2 – Digging Tools
Group 3 – Lifting Tools
Group 4 – Leveling Tools
Group 5 – Farm
Implements Group 6 –
Farm Machinery

You choose the farm tools and equipment that

you have answered earlier and tell us their uses
and functions. I will give you 15 min. to prepare.

It’s already 15 min. “Time’s up.

“Thank you class, All that you mention was
correct. There are different classification of farm
tools and equipment and you already know their
uses.
And there are some tools that have more than
one classification such as the shovel which can
be used for digging as well as used for lifting.”
