Technology Grade 9 Mini Pat Term 1 Memorandum

Detailed labeling of parts, materials, and mechanical joints. 10 Marks Part 3: Making Phase (The Physical Model) [10 Marks]

Dedicate class time to drafting instruments. Ensure learners understand that a working drawing is not an artistic sketch, but a precise engineering guide. Collect Part 2.

A clear statement defining the problem, proposed solution, and target community. 2.2 Specifications (3 Marks):

Forces acting on structures (tension, compression, torsion, shear). technology grade 9 mini pat term 1 memorandum

Learners must identify how forces will act on their proposed structure.

Clearly state why the current situation is a problem (e.g., "The river is too deep to cross safely during rainy seasons"). Bridge Types:

At least two or three rough ideas showing different ways to solve the problem. Detailed labeling of parts, materials, and mechanical joints

Clear annotations showing where the forces act or what materials were used will show the examiner you truly understand the technology behind your build. To help find specific resources, let me know:

Orthographic Projection: Front view, top view, and side view drawn in .

When grading or completing the Mini-PAT, look for the correct application of these fundamental engineering principles: Description / Application in Mini-PAT Collect Part 2
