Spectra Engineering — Grade 5
intermediateGrade 5 prepares students to tackle practical engineering challenges by understanding user needs, evaluating prototypes, and carrying out an independent project. The course contains 16 online lessons spread over four units, each consisting of a one-page reading and a ten-question quiz that must be passed at 90% to advance. Students conduct a school survey, test paper and classroom models fairly, and record clear data while refining a water-carrying tray. Progress is measured through unit reviews, a mid-test after Unit 2, and a comprehensive final test after Unit 4.
