Lesson notes

Learning Objectives

Indicator: 1.1.1.LI.1 Identify types of engines and describe the main component of the engine

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Classify engines into at least two major types based on their working principles, such as spark ignition (SI) and compression ignition (CI) engines.
Identify the main components of a typical internal combustion engine and state the function of each component.
Observe and describe at least three visible differences between petrol (SI) and diesel (CI) engine features using diagrams, models, or real engines.
Work collaboratively in groups to present findings on engine types and components, respecting the views of peers during discussions.
