On this page you will find a Grade 9 Technology Term 3 Mini Practical Assessment Task worth 70 marks, on electronic systems. Learners design an energy-saving switch for a kettle using a variable resistor, so it automatically switches off once the water reaches the required temperature rather than boiling unnecessarily. The scenario grounds the electronics design task in a relatable, real-world energy-saving problem. Learners must apply their understanding of circuits and control systems to solve it. This Mini-PAT helps Grade 9 learners apply electronic systems knowledge to a practical, energy-conscious design challenge in Term 3.
