Technology

Our CAPS Grade 9 Technology module is perfect for learners completing Senior Phase — developing advanced design projects, electronic control systems, and complex structures through adaptive interactive technology education.

Grade: Grade 9

Age: Ages 13–15

Curriculum: CAPS

Subject: Technology & Computing

What to Expect from CAPS Grade 9 Technology

Grade 9 Technology completes the Senior Phase with the most demanding and sophisticated design projects yet — requiring learners to apply the full design process independently to complex, multi-constraint problems. EdSoft's adaptive module develops genuine technical design capability.

Electrical and Electronic Control Systems

Grade 9 develops electronic control systems — learners explore transistors, logic gates, and programmable control using basic electronics. Design projects require learners to integrate electronic control with mechanical and structural systems.

Structures

Grade 9 structures work extends to complex architectural and civil engineering structures — learners investigate how large structures manage force distribution, and design scale models that demonstrate these principles.

Mechanical Systems and Control

Complex mechanical systems are explored — learners investigate pneumatics and hydraulics, designing and building systems that use fluid or air pressure to transmit and amplify force.

Processing and the Environment

Grade 9 processing critically evaluates the environmental impact of material processing and manufacturing — learners investigate sustainable alternatives and evaluate the life cycle of products.
