Note to Pupils:
Maintenance Of Farm Tools
- Cleaning: Remove dirt and debris with a brush or cloth.
- Sharpening: Farm tools, like knives and hoes, become dull with use. We sharpen these tools using a sharpening stone or file.
- Drying: Always dry farm tools after cleaning or when they get wet. Moisture can lead to rust, which can damage the tools.
- Greasing: Apply a thin layer of lubricating oil to prevent rust and keep the metal parts moving smoothly.
- Safe Storage: Store farm tools in a safe place, away from rain and direct sunlight, hang or place tools in a shed or storage area to protect them from the elements.
Evaluation:
- What are farm tools used for?
- Can you name one way to maintain farm tools?
- Why is it important to maintain farm tools?
Note to Teachers:
Customize the lesson content, teaching methods, and pupil activities to suit your teaching style, curriculum, and available resources. Ensure safety precautions are followed during the demonstration and practice activities.
