Summary

• Description:

  The MS Word document comprises the Grade 7 Pre-Technical Studies Paper 2 (Project) Mid Term 2 Exam 2025 with Marking Scheme. The PDF version is also available upon your request.

  The exam paper, titled "PRE-TECHNICAL STUDIES PROJECT," is a project-based assessment designed for Grade 7 learners. It is intended to be completed over a duration of 1 month, with learners working in groups of 4 to 5. The project emphasizes the use of locally available or recycled materials and is marked out of a total of 40 marks.

  The core task of the project is for groups to design and make a simple tool caddy. This item is intended to help keep desks or workspaces tidy by organizing pens, pencils, rulers, and other small tools. The assessment is structured into three main tasks:

  • Task 1: Design and Planning (12 marks)
    • 1. Tool Caddy Design (6 marks): Learners are required to create a freehand pictorial sketch of their proposed simple tool caddy. The sketch should clearly illustrate its appearance and include main measurements or proportions.
    • 2. Material Selection (3 marks): Groups must choose and list the locally available or recycled materials they intend to use for constructing the tool caddy (examples provided include cardboard tubes, cereal boxes, wood scraps, plastic containers, fabric). They also need to explain why they selected these specific materials, considering factors like availability, cost, suitability, and sustainability.
    • 3. Tool Selection (3 marks): Learners must select and list the appropriate tools needed for marking out, cutting, joining, and finishing the chosen materials. Tools can be selected from a provided list (which includes items like tape measure, scissors, craft knife, saw, glue/adhesive tape, stapler) or others available in the school workshop or at home.
  • Task 2: Implementation and Process (20 marks)
    • 4. Marking Out and Cutting (10 marks): Using the selected tools, groups are to mark out and cut the parts of the tool caddy from their chosen materials, adhering to their design specifications. (This stage is likely assessed through teacher observation of the process and accuracy).
    • 5. Assembly (10 marks): Learners must carefully assemble the cut parts to create the tool caddy as per their sketch. The assessment will focus on the stability of the tool caddy and its ability to hold items securely. (This stage is also likely assessed through teacher observation of the process and the final product).
    • 6. Process Documentation (2 marks): Groups are required to document their work by taking videos or photos at each stage of the project: designing, selecting materials and tools, marking out, cutting, and assembling.
  • Task 3: Portfolio and Reflection (8 marks)
    • 7. Electronic Portfolio Creation (6 marks): Learners must create an electronic portfolio (e.g., a digital folder) containing the videos and photos taken during the project implementation (as per Q6). The portfolio should be clearly named with the group's name.
    • 8. Benefits Statement (2 marks): Groups need to state two benefits of using a tool caddy to organize a workspace.
