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.
This is an easy ppt to follow with some videos and website links which can be useful for research.
The lesson is good for a chatty group as there are some discussion questions. No worksheets just some information, tasks, discussions and questions.

A comprehensive series of multimedia materials to support the teaching of the GCSE Design and Technology Food Technology course. The materials can be downloaded as a complete Moodle course or as individual elements. The bilingual resources include video clips, animations, text and quizzes within Moodle and can be used on an interactive whiteboard for whole class teaching or by students on individual computers. The images included in this work, to the best of our knowledge, are from sources that their use do not breach any copyright rules. Please visit the NGfL site, linked below.
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.
