Project 1
Theme: The Eat Well Guide and functions of nutrients
-
Students will complete a 9/10 Week Project.
They will demonstrate practical preparation skills using a variety of hand and electrical equipment to combine ingredients. They will use a variety of ingredients showing how some popular shop bought products can be made easily at home including bread and butter.
Theory lessons will focus on the ‘Eat Well Guide’ and principles of a balanced diet. Different foods groups will be identified, focusing on the nutrients contained in different ingredients and how they function in the body.
-
What pupils should know by the end of this topic/theme .
They should be able to explain what a balanced diet is, and the nutrients that are needed in the body and suggest meals that could fit a balanced diet.
They should know how carbohydrates, proteins, fibre, fats and vitamins and mineral's function.
-
Practical preparation of ingredients using basic skills such as cutting, dicing, measuring, stirring and shaping, through to more complex skill with pastry making, the rubbing in method, pasta cooking and sauce making.
-
What pupils will do to gain the knowledge and skills.
Learning takes place through a variety of theory and practical tasks. They will use group discussion, watch videos and demonstrations and take part in role playing activities.
They will use the food technology rooms for the authentic experience of handling, preparing, and cooking a range of ingredients.
-
What prior learning is necessary for pupils to be successful / what concepts will be revisited.
Students will revise use of the kitchen, how to prepare food safely and how to minimise risk and danger to themselves and others.
They will use kitchen skills they have developed previously in different recipes.
They have learnt the basic principles of food groups and nutrients and will try to apply these to different situations.
-
The ideas pupils will understand and the words they will be able to use.
Carbohydrates, starch, sugar, fibre, proteins, saturated fats, unsaturated fats, water soluble and fat soluble vitamins, minerals, Eatwell guide, balanced diet, nutrient functions, digestion.
-
Recipes and challenge questions will be set on a fortnightly basis to consolidate learning from the classroom and allow students the opportunity to practise skills they have learnt in the classroom.
Students can choose from either a practical task that repeats skills that have been learnt at school, or a set of challenge questions that explore the theory topics in more detail.
