🚀 Mission 008: Investigate Like a Real Engineer | GEC 2026 Technology Worksheet 6A | Grade 9 CAPS

🌌 Greetings, STEAM Cadets! Welcome back to the STEAM Universe with Professor L, Head Mentor of the STEAM Universe! In Mission 008, you'll learn to think and investigate like a real engineer. Before engineers build a solution, they compare different ideas, evaluate them against the project requirements, improve their designs, and choose the best solution using evidence. In this lesson, Professor L guides you through Worksheet 6A (Questions 6.1–6.5) step by step, helping you understand exactly how to answer every question and achieve top marks. 📚 In this mission you'll learn: ✅ How to evaluate different design ideas using specifications ✅ How to compare designs fairly ✅ How to select the best design and justify your choice ✅ How to suggest meaningful improvements ✅ How to identify challenges during construction ✅ How to propose practical engineering solutions ✅ How to choose the correct tools and materials ✅ How engineers use critical thinking to make smart decisions 🎯 Worksheet Questions Covered 📌 6.1 Evaluate different designs 📌 6.2 Select the best design and motivate your choice 📌 6.3 Suggest improvements 📌 6.4 Identify challenges and possible solutions 📌 6.5 List the tools, equipment and materials needed to build the prototype 🎓 Professor L's Engineering Tip Great engineers never choose the first idea they see. They compare. They investigate. They improve. They make decisions based on evidence. That is exactly what you'll learn in this mission. 📖 CAPS Topics Covered ✔ Engineering Design Process ✔ Investigating ✔ Evaluating ✔ Decision Making ✔ Specifications ✔ Design Improvements ✔ Project Planning ✔ Tools and Materials ✔ 21st Century Skills: Collaboration & Critical Thinking 👍 If this lesson helped you: 🔔 Subscribe to Professor L STEM Academy 👍 Like this video 💬 Ask your questions in the comments 📤 Share this lesson with your classmates and teachers 🚀 Next Mission Mission 009: ...??? 🌟 Remember...
