Learning progressionLearning progressionOn page 6 of the learning progression in science and technology in primary school, you will find:
ForcesForcesThere are several types of forces. Today we will look at two, compression and tension.
Generally, forces act on bodies one of two ways:
1. By pushing: This is what is called compression;
2. By pulling: This is what is called tension.
6
CompressionCompressionCompression is a force that
exerts a push on a body. When this force is applied, it
causes or modifies the motion of the body.
It may also distort it. F

TensionTensionTension is the force that pulls a
body. When this force is applied, it may
cause or modify the motion of the body.
Finally, it may also cause distortion.

MovementsMovements The mobile parts of a technical
object may move according to three types of movement.
1. Rotation
1. Translation
1. Helical movement

Simple machinesSimple machines
Simple machines are machines used to reduce the force necessary for the accomplishment of a task.
Humans have learned to use simple machines to help in their everyday tasks.
With an arrangement of simple machines, we obtain complex machines.

Simple machines Simple machines (continued)(continued)
Simple machines serve three main functions:
1.They transmit forces;2.They change the direction of a
force;3.They modify the intensity of the
force.

Here are five simple machines:

Some notions about drawing …Some notions about drawing …
For technical drawing, there are international conventions such as:◦ Type of line
Thick Medium Fine
◦Basic lines Visible contour line (thick, continuous line) Hidden contour line (medium dashed line) Axis line (fine line with stroke at the center) Dimension line (fine, continuous line with arrows) Extension line (fine, continuous line) Leader line (fine line with one arrow)
◦Views◦Dimensions (in mm)

Multiple viewsMultiple views
Among the six possible views, we choose to show those that are necessary to describe the shape of the object.
FACE VIEW RIGHT VIEW
TOP VIEW
LEFT VIEWBACK VIEW
BOTTOM VIEW
Three views are usually sufficient to describe an object. Many simple objects only require one or two views.
Movement mechanismsMovement mechanismsThere are many mechanisms,
classified into two categories:
1.The transmission of motion;2.The transformation of motion.
29
Movement mechanismsMovement mechanisms1. Transmission of motion
A transmission of motion mechanism is a mechanism that transmits the same movement from one part of an object to another.
Here are three of the most common mechanisms:
Gears;Friction wheels;Pulleys and belts.

Movement mechanisms Movement mechanisms ((continuedcontinued))
2. Transformation of motion
A transformation of motion mechanism is a mechanism that changes the nature of the movement, that is from a translation to a rotation or vice versa..
Here are the transformation mechanisms:
Rod and crank; Cam and rod; Rack and pinion; Nut and bolt; Crankshaft.
35
Rod and crankRod and crank
36
Crank: Mechanical part by which a force can transmit a rotary movement around an axis.
Rod: Rigid rod that is used to produce a movement.
Axis
Cam and rodCam and rod
37
Rod or roller: Rigid rod leaned on the cam.
Cam: Mechanical part whose function is to push an element to move it.
CrankshaftCrankshaft
40
Crankshaft: « U » shaped axle with at least one rod that transforms a rectilinear movement into a rotary movement.
