Term 3 Technology test/notes grade 8 CAPS
In Grade 8 Technology Term 2 (CAPS), learners focus on mechanical systems and control, including gears and levers. They learn how machines make work easier by using mechanical advantage, how gears transfer movement and force, gear ratios, speed and torque, and how different gears affect the movement of a machine. They also study levers, including the fulcrum, effort and load, and how the position of these parts affects mechanical advantage. Learners apply this knowledge to design, draw and evaluate mechanical systems.
