Chopping Board Challenge

I am a PGCE student, any comments on the resources I have made (positive or negative) would be very helpful. If you choose to download -why? If not - why?Thank you :) Students are sat in 'table teams' with each colour chopping board laid out in the middle of each table. They are told to take note of the information displayed on the first slide. The food cards are placed face down, slide 2 is shown. The aim is for students to place the correct food item on the colour chopping board that should be used to prepare it. When finished all members of the team must put their hands up. I take note on the order of finishing then check their teams answers in that order, correct answers are displayed on the board.

Yarn theory powerpoint and worksheet

(4)
Powerpoint showing each of the fancy and bulked yarns to cover for GCSE and Alevel theory. My lesson focus was on students being able to explain the process from fibre - yarn - fabric. Students were given a variety of commercial fancy yarns to pull apart and find out how they thought they had been produced. The yarn investigation worksheet is where students recorded their findings by stapling the samples in the first column and explaining how they have been made.
