I'm a primary school teacher, & ex-scientist, with 14 years experience. My passions are Maths and Science throughout the school. I spend a lot of time developing challenging and engaging, real-life resources. I co-founded My Science Club in 2021. The majority of my resources are free as I just enjoy the fact that other teachers might find them useful in their schools. If you do use them please leave a wee comment or rate them - all feedback is welcome as it helps me improve my own practice.

Food Preparation & Nutrition Homework

(1)
I used this as homework with my Primary 7 (Year 6) class. They had to prepare, or help preparing, a meal at home and note down they made it and what the nutritional values of the food were. Their family then wrote comments about the food. Some of the work I have got in from that has been amazing - scrapbooks, powerpoints and presentations about how to make the meal step by step.
