The memorandum will look for explicit use of triangles. Triangles do not deform easily under loads, making them the foundational shape for trusses.
Please Note: The specific context of the Mini PAT can vary slightly by province or year (e.g., some years focus on a "Cell Phone Stand," others on a "Hydraulic Arm," "Bridge," or "Packaging"). However, the most common and recent Grade 9 Term 1 PAT topic is usually centered around or Mechanical Systems (Hydraulics/Pneumatics) .
Falling over due to a narrow base or high center of gravity. 3. Strengthening Techniques To prevent failure, students must apply:
Note: This memorandum covers typical topics for a Grade 9 Technology mini PAT (Practical Assessment Task) Term 1: assessment criteria, suggested rubric, model solutions, step-by-step processes, marking guideline, examples, and teacher notes. Assume the PAT focuses on a small design-and-make project combining problem identification, design, planning, making, and evaluation with basic sketching, materials, tools, and simple electronics or mechanisms where relevant.
Presenting the final project with working drawings. 📐 Key Content Areas Covered in Term 1
The Term 1 Mini-PAT usually centers around and Mechanical Systems . Students are required to design and build a model—such as a bridge, a crane, or a cellular tower—that can withstand specific forces and perform a designated function.
The Term 1 Mini-PAT focuses on real-world problem-solving through the design and analysis of (such as bridges, cranes, or towers). Students apply the Design Process (Investigate, Design, Make, Evaluate, Communicate) to solve a specific community or industrial problem. Key Pedagogical Objectives
Rough freehand ideas showing different bridge designs. (4 marks)
