Make Grade 9 Technology practical with a project that allows learners to build a working model of an excavator. 
 
Excavators are powerful machines used for digging, construction, demolition and moving materials. Their main parts include a boom, dipper and bucket, which work together to dig and lift. 
 
The kit includes excavator templates and components such as syringes, tubing, skewers and cable ties. Learners trace the templates onto recycled cardboard, cut out the parts and put them together to build the model. 
 
The syringes and tubing form part of the model’s hydraulic system, helping learners understand how movement is created in an excavator.
