Final GR 7 Tech Term 3 Task 5 Memo

The document provides instructions for a technology assignment to design and build a model crane with an electromagnet. Students must write a design brief answering what the problem is, who will benefit from the solution, and how. They must then list at least four specifications for the crane, including that it uses an electromagnet to lift scrap metal and includes a pulley system. Students also list materials needed and provide sketches of the crane and electromagnet. Finally, they build the model crane according to the design brief and sketches, ensuring it is stable, strong, and can lift materials using the electromagnet and pulley system.
