Food Late KS3 Y9 Design and Make Event Food

Investigating the breadth and variety of food served at festivals and events. Students determine what needs to be considered when considering food provision, including preparing suitable dishes and considering environmental issues.

Key learning:

• Determining what the consumer wants and needs from food at a festival/ event
• Working out costs and profitability
• Environmental considerations of serving food and minimising waste at a festival

Skills:

• Adapting existing recipes to meet a need
• Application of safe working practices
• Analysis of nutritional content of a dish
• Use of a wider range of equipment and ingredients to independently produce a savoury main dish with accompaniments

These Design and Technology Key Resources form part of a KS3 plan for D&T learning and a project bank from which you can choose to populate your school’s learning plan. Other resources in the plan cover curriculum areas of Textiles, Systems and Control and Product Design.

These resources have been developed to help teachers who are looking to move their schemes of work from craft-based focused projects, where the craft outcome is the critical factor, towards planning D&T learning units that focus on students’ learning in design and technology.

The resources are designed to enable you to either use the full KS3 learning programme or to plan your own using these available units from the bank. You can use these units with others from the ever growing bank available on the D&T Association website or you can design your own to fit your school’s requirements.

Each learning unit has been designed by starting with selected learning objectives from the 2014 National Curriculum. From here the units have been developed with tasks, activities and experiences which provide opportunities for students to learn and demonstrate what they have learned. Furthermore assessment opportunities have been 'designed in' where teachers can assess whether students have learned what the unit has set out to teach them. To make them easier to reference in medium and short term plans they have been coded DB1, MA2, MB7 etc. A full reference table of coded learning objectives is included in this pack.

Content

Each resource pack comprises:

• Unit of work
• PowerPoint presentations
• Self assessment worksheets
• Homework sheets
• Support resources

Units can be purchased as individual items or as sets across early, mid or late KS3, or as a full set covering the whole of KS3.
