This comprises of two very similar A3 worksheets that can be used to prompt students to carry out detailed evaluations. It encourages students to think about how their practical work connects to theory work e.g. when evaluating a lemon meringue pie, they would need to think about who the dish is suitable for, how the ingredients fit into the Eatwell Guide, how the ingredients have been primary processed, how they have applied food styling etc.
This resource is useful for KS4 GCSE Food Preparation and Nutrition. It has been uploaded in both publisher and pdf file.

This worksheet can be used by KS3 and KS4 students to identify key temperatures used in food storage and cooking. Students should plot the key temperatures for chilling, freezing, the Danger Zone, and reheating foods on the food thermometer sheet. They should start plotting from -20 degrees celsius (at the botton of the thermometer) to 80 degrees celsius (at the top of the thermometer) at intervals of 5 degrees celsius.
This pack has been created to help improve Literacy across DT and FT and comprises of word cards that can be used in Textiles, Resistant Materials, Graphics, Electronics and Food Technology. The students can sort and group the word cards into Adjectives, Nouns and Verbs; examine suffixes used in the past, present and future tense, and investigate words through word exploration.
The word cards can be used in a multitude of ways such as individual, paired or grouped activities; as starters or small focused tasks.
This pack should help to expand vocabularly and the use of key words to enrich coursework and class work through improved Literacy.
This pack is availible in publisher and PDF.

This resource contains three differentiated worksheets based on equipment and ingredients. The Learning Objectives are for students to be able to:
• distinguish between equipment and ingredients
• identify a range of equipment and ingredients
Higher Ability Students (Green title): have to...
• Sort the words in the box into the correct 'Ingredients' and 'Equipment' columns of the table.
• Identify additional Ingredients and Equipment and add them to the table, followed by an explanation of what Ingredients and Equipment are.
Middle Ability Students (Amber title): have to...
• Sort the words in the box into the correct 'Ingredients' and 'Equipment' columns. (The words have been coloured to help students to distinguish between individual words).
Lower Ability Students (Red title): have to...
• Sort out the images of the different ingredients and equipment and stick them into the correct boxes. The font has been coloured in grey to aid dyslexic students.
The resources have been uploaded in both Word and PDF format. This resource can be used with existing schemes of work and is more suitable for lower KS3.
This resource contains 3 worksheets with sketching tasks relevant to Graphics. It can be used as a homework, or each of the boxes could be completed as a starter or plenary activity. The idea is to develop freehand drawing skills by sketching different items. Once completed, the worksheets could be cut into squares and grouped together according to style or outcome, as part of a group/class activity.
The worksheets contain differentiated Learning Objectives and this resource has been uploaded in both Publisher and PDF format.
This resource contains two pages-the first page shows pictures of equipment with the correct name; the second page shows the pictures without the name for the students to label.
This resource has been produced to help students to create different patterns. Example patterns are shown on the top right hand corner of each page-along with a colour palette, and a maximum of 3 colours should be used for each pattern.
This activity can be used as a homework or inspiration before an Art, Textiles or Design based project.
The Progression Tracking sheet effectively shows progression over time, and presents assessment in a uniform and clear way. It should be used in conjunction with assessed work to show that students understand how to monitor their own progression. They can evidence their Target Mark; what they’ve done well and what they need to do to improve their target. Students who do not reach their Target Mark have the opportunity to improve their work and record their resubmission mark.
This resource can be downloaded in both publisher and pdf format.
This brand new pack has been produced to meet the requirements of the new national curriculum in Cookery and Nutrition, and implement effective assessment without the use of levels.
Solo Power Packs have been created to save the teacher time, by ensuring that all the necessary paperwork is at hand for a complete lesson. Each pack improves students' Literacy and Numeracy skills through the effective use of Power Words and Power Numbers.
Each Solo Power Pack contains:
1. A Lesson Plan
2. Skills Set Assessment Materials (meets the progression frameworks of the Design and Technology Association (DATA)
3. Differentiated Worksheets
4. Power Point
5. Power Reflection Pass
6. Ingredients List
7. Power Words and Power Numbers
8. Extension Activity
This resource clearly shows what students have to do to make incremental progress with their practical skills. A wide range of cookery skills have been sorted from Level 3 to Level 8 and students can use the assessment sheets to identify areas of success and set new targets of improvement. Peer Assessment and Self Assessment have been included on the sheets which are available in A4 and A3 format.
This resource could be used for revising Food Science in GCSE Food Preparation and Nutrition and could be used in the following two ways:
Mindmap Activity:
Give students a copy of slide 1 and ask them to fill in the blank sections. They should then be encouraged to revise any sections that they are unsure of. Slide 2 should then be used to show the correct answers on the mind map.
Sorting Activity:
You could give students a printout of slide 3 and ask them to cut out all of the boxes. They then have to match the food science examples to the main strands of food science. They could then stick this onto a piece of card or paper. Slide 4 should then be used to show the correct answers.

This pack has been created to help students identify and understand different key words used in Textiles and is very useful for revision. The word cards are suitable for KS3 and KS4 students and can be used as either starter activities, plenaries, independent homework and/or revision tasks.
This pack also contains activity ideas for the key word cards and ideas to extend learning. ‘Grouping mats’ have been included to so that the word cards can be sorted into groups. The word cards do not have to be used at once- the teacher should consider which word cards and grouping activities to focus on during the lesson/s.
This resource is available in PDF and publisher. I hope that you find this resource useful.
I have also created Key Word Revision Activity Packs for Product Design, Resistant Materials, Graphics and Food Technology. Each pack contains at least 27 pages.
