This colourful A3 sensory food work bank can be used to help students describe the different sensory charateristics of foods. The words have been categorised by colours to help more visual learners. It can be printed and laminated to support food evaluations. The words from the food bank could also be cut out and given to students to sort and group into the following categories: texture, taste and appearance.
This resource clearly shows what students have to do to make incremental progress with their practical skills. A wide range of cookery skills have been sorted from Level 3 to Level 8 and students can use the assessment sheets to identify areas of success and set new targets of improvement. Peer Assessment and Self Assessment have been included on the sheets which are available in A4 and A3 format.
This Y9 Power Project has been produced to meet the requirements of the national curriculum in Cookery and Nutrition, and implement effective assessment.

This comprises of two very similar A3 worksheets that can be used to prompt students to carry out detailed evaluations. It encourages students to think about how their practical work connects to theory work e.g. when evaluating a lemon meringue pie, they would need to think about who the dish is suitable for, how the ingredients fit into the Eatwell Guide, how the ingredients have been primary processed, how they have applied food styling etc.
This resource is useful for KS4 GCSE Food Preparation and Nutrition. It has been uploaded in both publisher and pdf file.
This PowerPoint presentation is about dextrinisation and caramelisation. It contains key words, learning objectives, questions, and visual imagery to support the teaching and learning of Food Science in KS3. It can also be used as a revision PowerPoint for KS4 students.
This powerpoint is about different cooking methods and is ideal for use with KS4 Food Preparation and Nutrition courses. It includes examples of different cooking methods that transfer heat energy via conduction, conduction to convection; convection to conduction and radiation.
Revision questions and comparative tables have also been included for the students to complete.
Which sugar is best to use in a sponge cake?

This resource includes:
Learning Objectives
Hedonic chart
Star Profile
Differentiated tasks
Evaluation and analysis
Extension work
Food science of sugar

This short powepoint illustrates the basic food science behind shortening in a visual and simple way. It explains the relationship between 'shortening' and 'rubbing-in' and gives examples of food products that have been shortened.
This resourceis ideal for KS3 as an extension task after shortcrust making.
This A4 sensory food work bank can be used to help students to describe the different sensory charateristics of foods. It can be printed and laminated to support food evaluations. The words from the food bank could also be cut out and given to students to sort into the following categories: texture, taste, aroma and appearance.
This test has been created as summative assessment to be used at the end of the Textiles rotation. The test will familiarise students with examination style questions and test their knowledge about the following topics relating to Textiles:

The Progression Tracking sheet effectively shows progression over time, and presents assessment in a uniform and clear way. It should be used in conjunction with assessed work to show that students understand how to monitor their own progression. They can evidence their Target Mark; what they’ve done well and what they need to do to improve their target. Students who do not reach their Target Mark have the opportunity to improve their work and record their resubmission mark.

This worksheet can be used by KS3 and KS4 students to identify key temperatures used in food storage and cooking. Students should plot the key temperatures for chilling, freezing, the Danger Zone, and reheating foods on the food thermometer sheet. They should start plotting from -20 degrees celsius (at the botton of the thermometer) to 80 degrees celsius (at the top of the thermometer) at intervals of 5 degrees celsius.
I use this worksheet as a research based homework for Y7. I ask the students to study the food packaging of different fruits and vegetables to see which country they were grown in. They then use the website link on the worksheet to find out:
how far the different foods have travelled
identify which food has travelled the furthest
The students then have too:
explain what Food Miles are
suggest ways of reducing their own food miles
