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.

16-20. We need to know the uses of the different tools and equipment before using it so that thes tools and equipment
will make its life span longer. Knowing the uses helps us perform the tasks easily. If we do not use it correctly, it will
easily break or damage and will not function well. It can cause accidents as well.
