Design Technology - Yummy Yoghurts (Lower Key Stage 2)

In this unt of work, children create their own recipe, branding and packaging for a healthy yoghurt-based breakfast meal. This unit of work also includes learning about the importance of breakfast. Children learn how to make yoghurt and how a thermos flask helps to maintain the temperature of the yoghurt allowing the micro-organisms to create yoghurt from milk.
Applying their knowledge of a balanced, healthy diet, children design a layered breakfast pot of yoghurt, cereal and fruit. Consolidating their skills in food preparation, children use their design to make a healthy breakfast product.

This knowledge, skills and understanding is delivered through the following six sessions:

1. IDEA Task 1 – All About Breakfast
2. IDEA Task 2 – Investigating Yoghurts & IDEA Task 3 – Yoghurt Pot Packaging
3. Focused Practical Task 1 – Making Yoghurt & Focused Practical Task 2 – Cross-Sectional Drawing
4. Designing a yoghurt-based breakfast
5. Making the yoghurt product
6. Evaluation
