I have a design project with design brief, specification, product analysis, and a designer link SCARED (using a designer link of your choice i have one attached, students are to used the SCARED worksheet to re-design it), finishing with the final design.
I also have attached the SCARED format worksheet to print for the students to assist.
I have done a lesson on ethical food choice a few times and i think it is a key one to do with the students, some of the images are a bit graphic but i think its important.
It has a video link to do with the students of chicken farming for KFC.
The lessons is important in enforcing chosing the right foods, free range and red tractor.
There is a starter and a plenary.
I love doing PPT’s so its time i shared them, so here are 14 different starter tasks (which could also be adapted to be plenaries) i would say for a year 7 or 8 class as they are about the basics of food and nutrition, to just embed and enforce the important topics, presented in an engaging way; anagrams, true or fasle, catagorise, fill in the gaps, spot the difference, direct questioning etc.
Some of the topics;
washing up/working together
chopping boards
good and bad fats
eatwell guide
balanced diets
key vitamins and minerals
carbohydrates
seasonal veg and fruit
weighing and measuring
key labels
equipment
food miles/impacts on the environment
I have created an A4 activity sheet for cover lessons in technology, there are 5 different problem solving task meaning that this can be used multiple times with the same group.
It is also quite versatile and can be used across different year groups.
During my training I created a few resources that would help out cover teachers and teachers themselves, as it can be used 5 times and cover staff only have to monitor behaviour.
The resource is design to get students thinking outside the box and problem solving.
It covers a lot of different topics and can be used for a range of ages.
i have a PDF file and a PPT incase you wanted to edit it a bit.
