Foodtechfanatics contains a range of resources which meet the requirements of the National Curriculum in Cookery and Nutrition, and GCSE Food Preparation and Nutrition. The resources have been created to improve teaching and learning and raise standards.
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.
Designed for GCSE Food Preparation and Nutrition EDUQAS, but also suitable for other exam boards.
This new resource covers the unit ‘Principles of Nutrition’ in detail and contains over 100 slides designed to inform and engage students. It also consists of differentiated worksheets on Carbohydrates, Dietary Fibre NSP, Fats, Protein and Micronutrients, to test knowledge and understanding of students. Learning Objectives, Extension Activities, and links to fantastic ‘youtube’ videos have also been included.
This resource covers the following:
Macronutrients
• Carbohydrates-monosaccharides, disaccharides, polysaccharides, molecular structure of different sugars, dietary function of sugar
• The digestive system
• Dietary Fibre NSP- soluble and insoluble fibre, fibre rich foods, dietary functions of fibre, consequences of a low fibre diet, ways to increase fibre intake
• Fat-saturated and unsaturated fat, monosaturated and polyunsaturated fats, dietary functions of fat, consequences of a high fat diet
• Protein- protein molecules, amino acids, essential amino acids, dietary function of fibre, HBV foods and LBV foods, protein complementation
Micronutrients
• Vitamins, minerals and trace Element- what they are, their dietary functions and sources
• Deficiencies- symptoms and causes
Files are in word and PowerPoint and can be adapted.
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.
These GCSE questions have been taken from EDUQAS and AQA exam boards. I have differentiated the delivery of the questions into ‘Key Words with Prompts’ and ‘Exam Structuring Questions’.
Key Words with Prompts: This should be used for pupils who know how to construct extended response answers, but need to include more subject specific terminology in their response.
Exam Structuring Questions: This should be used for students who are familiar with subject terminology but struggle to construct an extended response. Questions and answers are broken down before being constructed into an extended response answer.
Model answers have also been provided to help students to check their work.
Students can use this visual resource to revise the different preservation techniques used in food before answering the practice exam question. This resource can be used in numerous ways; some students may find it more beneficial to mind-map their thoughts first before constructing a detailed response.
This resource includes a brief description on the following preservation methods:
smoking
canning
freezing
salting
drying
pickling
vacuum packaging
I hope you find this resource useful.
Which flour is best to use in cupcakes?
This fun and engaging food investigation can be used as a mini mock for NEA 1, or a standalone investigation for students studying GCSE Food Preparation and Nutrition. It is a powerpoint presentation containing 28 slides, and worksheets can be printed directly from the powerpoint.
This resource includes:
Learning Objectives
Hedonic chart
Star Profile
Differentiated tasks
Evaluation and analysis
Extension work
Food science of sugar
Assessment criteria
It also discusses:
What a hypothesis is
How to make an experiment fair

I use this worksheet as a research based homework for Y7. I ask the students to study the food packaging of different fruits and vegetables to see which country they were grown in. They then use the website link on the worksheet to find out:
how far the different foods have travelled
identify which food has travelled the furthest
The students then have too:
explain what Food Miles are
suggest ways of reducing their own food miles
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 will help you to stay afloat with the organisation of your teaching and evidence your CPD. It contains:
• 2019-2020 Teacher Planner-with dates
• Daily Lesson Planner
• Editable Lesson Plan
• Behaviour Intervention Log
• Pupil Progress Intervention Log
• CPD Activity Review
• CPD Log
• Meeting Evidence
• Meeting Log
• Health and Safety Incident Log
• Order Form
• Technician Preparation Job List
• Ultimate Teacher Organiser
• Lesson Plan Template
This checklist should be laminated and used for inspections at the end of practical lessons-the students can tick off the jobs they have completed which can be further checked by the teacher.
This Learning Map has been designed for SEN and EAL students to record progression clearly during lessons. The learning map can be used in a variety of different ways and promotes independent learning. It's a very visual method of recording progress and accessible to lower ability and EAL students.
Each unit is colour coded in our food room. I print and laminate the attached checklists and put one in each unit area. The students organise the different jobs amongst themselves and write down on the laminated student teams jobs 'who' is doing 'what' job. The laminated sheets can be used over and over again.
This resource has been created to measure and evidence progression clearly during individual lessons. It can be edited and used across all subject areas to record subject development and stuck into exercise books or used in folders.
The students will assess their prior knowledge and skills by marking their Starting Point (SP) for each Learning Objective on the Learning Map sheet at the start of lessons. At the end of lessons, students can mark their Finishing Point (FP) against each Learning Objective- This will enable them to clearly measure their progression against the starting points and finishing points of the Learning Map.
The mini 'Target Cards' can be used for both practical and theory lessons and in a number of different ways. They can be applied to any subject and easily adapted in Microsoft Publisher. Targets can either be typed beforehand by the teacher, or students can hand write their own targets, referring to individual learning ladders/ assessment criteria for their subject (not included in this resource).
These cards are an easy way to evidence progression in lessons.
This A3 booklet has been created for SEN students and includes activities, worksheets and assessment materials to support the practical lessons for making a cushion. I've adapted the original booklet which was created by my predecessor and has been a fabulous resource to use.
