This document contains assessment plans for various subjects and grades at Mondlane J school in three terms. In Term 4, students in Grade 4 will have Social Science tests on geography and history topics, assessing their understanding of water in South Africa and changes in communication methods over time. In Term 6, Grade 6 students will have a science test on the solar system, and complete a project designing a vehicle that moves using wheels and axles. They will also have a Life Skills test on health and the environment. In Term 7, Grade 7 students will have a Technology test and complete a mini-PAT project to design and model an emergency shelter.

TOPIC : The SolarSystem
Content & Concepts
The Sun, Planets and Asteroids
- the Sun (a star) is at the centre of our Solar System
- there are eight planets and the asteroid belt (Mercury, Venus, Earth,
Mars, Asteroid Belt, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) in orbit
around the Sun
- Asteroids take different amounts of time to revolve around the Sun*
Rotation (Earth)
- in our Solar System, each planet rotates (spins) on its own Axis
- The planet Earth is spinning, and one complete rotation takes about 24
hours. We experience this as a day and a night
- During rotation the side of the Earth facing the Sun experiences
daytime, and the opposite side of the Earth experiences night-time.
Rotation (Moon)
- the Moon is spinning and one complete rotation takes about 28 days
Revolution (Moon)
- the Moon revolves around the Earth and one revolution also takes about
a month (about 28 days)
- together, the Earth and the Moon revolve around the Sun
Telescopes
- telescopes are used to look into space and gather information
- South Africa has built and uses some of the largest telescopes

TECHNOLOGY 7 14/11/2016 MINI-PAT PROJECT
• Investigate: Learners investigate materials and building techniques used by
indigenous people for constructing housing in rural South Africa. Materials
used in such construction is typically readily available, appropriate and
environmentally friendly.
• Investigate: Learners compare materials and building techniques used by
people setting up informal settlements. They compare these materials to those
used by indigenous builders in terms of suitability, availability and
environmentally friendliness.
• Investigate: Learners find out what chemicals can waterproof a textile like
canvas.
• Investigate: Learners find out about the burning characteristics of various
textiles
• Designbrief: Learners write an appropriate design brief with specifications
for producing a textile suitable for use in making an emergency shelter.
• Design: Learners sketch design ideas for an emergency shelter that can be
transported to and erected at a site where people have become homeless.
• Make: Learners make a model of an emergency shelter made of a material
that they have waterproofed and that is suitable for housing refugees for a
period of at least a month. It should be easy to transport, easy to assemble,
and easy to pack away after use.
