Worksheet descriptions

Activities 1 and 2 are traditional find-a-word containing 15 words taken from the Food Technology Food Selection and Health unit. Both worksheets contain the same words for students to search however, the search tables are different in each. Teachers may chose to use “Find-A-Word 1” and “Find-A-Word 2” in the same lesson but providing each second student with the alternative so as to prevent copying etc.

Activity 3 is a Life Skills version of the activity above. It containing the same 15 words taken from the Food Selection and Health unit, however, the guide is smaller and all the words are either up and down or across the grid making the location of terms easier to find.

Activity 4 requires students to write the definitions for each term in the space provided. Students could be instructed to conduct their own research by using the internet or the teacher may prefer to provide the definition for students to re write.

Activity 5 is a traditional crossword puzzle containing 15 words taken from the Food Selection and Health unit.
