Lesson Content

Vehicle Internal Parts

Understanding the internal parts of a vehicle is crucial for recognizing how vehicles function. Below are some important vehicle internal parts and their functions:

Engine: The engine is the heart of the vehicle. It converts fuel into mechanical energy to move the vehicle.
Transmission: This system transmits power from the engine to the wheels, allowing the vehicle to move at different speeds.
Radiator: The radiator helps to cool the engine by transferring heat from the coolant to the air.
Battery: The battery supplies electrical power to start the engine and powers electrical components.
Alternator: The alternator charges the battery and powers the electrical system when the engine is running.
Fuel Tank: The fuel tank stores fuel until it is needed by the engine.
Exhaust System: This system directs exhaust gases away from the engine and reduces emissions.

Lesson Evaluation

To evaluate the learning, the teacher asks pupils to:

Name three internal parts of a vehicle and explain their functions.
Describe how the transmission system works.
Explain why the radiator is important in a vehicle.
Work in pairs to discuss and list the functions of the battery and alternator.
