A 23 page project booklet leading students through learning about healthy eating using the eatwell plate and the healthy eating pyramid onto designing, costing and making a healthy snack of their own.
Each page has activities for the students to complete and includes an assessment structure and alternative front covers.
The booklet is suitable for students in years 8 or 9 depending on the ability of the students and the location of the curriculum.
The worksheets can be used on their own for other projects or as a whole unit of work covering around 10 weeks.
I use this for pupils who are in inclusion or who have not got ingredients for the practical session. It means I can get on with practical work rather than finding something for the pupils to do. It also helps improve knowledge of the subject and covers in more depth some of the work it is not possible for me to cover in a 10 week rotation.

This resource can be used to ease marking of NEA for Design and Technology. The specific language is taken directly from the AQA mark scheme, but it has been put in chart form with areas identified, so that different mark bands can be easily seen for each section of the NEA. This is a new resource this year for my department, this type of format has helped a lot in Food for several years. It can also be shared with students so they can see how to progress to higher marks using simplified terms. Simply tick the box that you think the students work fits into for that section and the use that information to make your judgement about each section, information can then be transfered easily to the AQA official paperwork.
