This material has been developed to help older students (14 - 16 age range) who are following a Food Technology course to GCSE examination level.

It contains over 40 work sheets and information sheets that are easily accessible.

The resource is structured so that it allows students of lower ability, or bilingual pupils with limited English acquisition, full access to the course, whilst giving higher ability students a basis on which to build and extend their creativity. It is particularly useful when teaching a mixed ability class as it allows students to work independently and at their own level and pace.

The work sheets are sequential and follow the design process from the initial problem or brief through development and industrial processes to the product launch, thus, providing the student with a blueprint to follow.

They provide writing frames and instructions allowing experienced teachers maximum flexibility and teachers new to the subject with clear guidelines to follow.

This format and way of teaching the course is devised and well tested by an experienced teacher and examination moderator and it has been proved to raise examination grades as the students have a clear picture of what they need to do and in what order they need to do it. It helps them to understand the design process and is ideal for the AQA coursework specifications.

The use of ICT is encouraged throughout and specialist programs can be easily incorporated into this flexible medium.

This material has been developed to enable food technology pupil's aged 11 - 15 to follow the design process in a simple and enjoyable step-by-step way. It aims to provide interesting, well differentiated and illustrated materials allowing pupils of different abilities to be autonomous and solve problems individually and in teams.

This resource pack aims to make teaching and learning Food Technology easier, using clear and simple explanations and examples to increase pupils' confidence in designing and making food products.

A bank of differentiated photocopiable worksheets is included to make it easier for pupils to access the curriculum at different levels. This resource pack will serve as a useful guide and tool to help teachers fulfil the National Curriculum requirements.

It is designed so that pupils can build on their levels and work effectively according to their abilities, for instance if the whole class is expected to work on planning production, while some pupils are still doing the flowchart, the more able ones will be able to progress to systems and control. The use of ICT is encouraged throughout the process especially where access to computers is not a problem.

The resource pack addresses the basic concepts of the design process and can be used by other pupils studying food technology in the older age groups.

This tried and tested project has proved successful with pupils at KS3 (11-14 year olds). It prepares students for GCSE food technology through development of a novelty cake, from initial research through to final evaluation.

Students are given the opportunity to conduct a variety of research tasks and the project provides them with framework sheets, which ensure that enough detail is included. The project covers the four main cake-making methods and students are required to complete safety and quality check for each practical. (Supporting worksheets included). The evaluation sheets for each practical and some research tasks are available in differentiated format. Worksheets on functions of ingredients, cake making, and icing techniques are included and all information for their completion is provided. All cake recipes used are in A4 format. They can be placed in plastic wallets for student use during practicals.

Every worksheet has supporting material to enable students to complete the task independently. The exception is 'Evaluating Existing Products'. Teaching staff may have a supply of cake boxes for students to use, or the task can be given as homework for independent research.

Links with literacy, numeracy and citizenship are also included along with a curriculum map showing how the project meets the requirements of the National Curriculum Programme of Study.

A page of 'Key Words' can be used as it is or it can be enlarged on a photocopier for classroom display.
