DT in year 3 and Year 4. Linked to the Primary National Curriculum objectives. Pupils will design and make healthy Granola Bars in this project. This is a half term unit of work with 5 lesson plans, PowerPoints for pupils and lesson resources like design decision table, visuals for support and a recipe card to follow in writing as well as instructions with visuals. The unit encourages pupils to be inspired by snack designs on the market, research through tasting and working collaboratively, and think about the purpose of their own design e.g make it healthier, nut free, gluten free, sugar free etc. Children will be overjoyed with new taste sensations and can also make links with climate change, sustainable food sources, food and trade, air miles.
Lesson 1- Discover importance of iron rich foods and take inspiration from snacks on the market
Lesson 2 - Design decisions by tasting and voting
