Grade 7 Technology Term 3 Test 2 + Memo
About this resource
Help your Grade 7 learner prepare for their Term 3 Technology assessment with this 50-mark practice test, complete with a full memorandum. The test has a duration of 1 hour and focuses on magnetism, electromagnets, electrical circuits, mechanical systems, cranes and the design process.
The test covers:
- Magnetism and magnetic metals
- Permanent magnets and electromagnets
- Magnetic and non-magnetic materials
- Strengthening an electromagnet
- Simple electric circuits
- Circuit components and symbols
- Conductors
- Cells, switches and light bulbs
- Drawing an electromagnet circuit
- Mechanical advantage
- Levers and cranks
- Pulleys and pulley systems
- Model cranes
- Oblique drawings
- Flow charts
- Recycling and sorting metals
- Design briefs
- Specifications and constraints
- Using recycled and low-cost materials
The paper includes multiple-choice, matching, short-answer questions, circuit interpretation, circuit drawing, case studies and design-based activities.
Learners apply their knowledge in a practical model crane and recycling case study, exploring how an electromagnet can be used to lift and sort magnetic metals.
The final activity requires learners to develop a design brief, specifications and constraint for a working crane that uses an electromagnet and recycled or low-cost materials to sort magnetic and non-magnetic metals.
Total: 50 marks | Duration: 1 hour | Full memorandum included | PDF format.
