Food Technology is a specialised practical subject. Food Technology Cover and Lesson Plans I and II have been developed to provide Departments with easy to use and stand alone lesson plans, which would be useful, when cover work is required. This comprehensive material has been developed to accommodate unforeseen and urgent situations.

The second set of lesson plans have been compiled with different class and extension work to cater for gifted, talented and able students (GTA), who might otherwise be forgotten in other teaching resources. The work formulated for the GTA students requires them to undertake in depth research to analyse, evaluate and use information effectively.

The teaching material could also form part of existing schemes of work for 11-16 year olds to help them prepare and organise their time effectively before completing a practical application; this could be an added bonus for fully qualified Food Technology teachers.

Each project has a full set of worksheets that give clear instructions to staff as to how to administer the material, together with discussion points and a list of the resources required. The students' worksheets set out the brief/topic together with a format showing how this is to be achieved successfully. All the sheets contained in these projects are based on Food Technology topics and are relevant to current education policies. The material has been designed with the knowledge that not all lessons are allocated the same amount of time; therefore, the work set can accommodate this. The material could provide a valuable contribution to the students' experiences in soft technology.

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.
