These 2 resources are ideal for introducing taste testing or for revision purposes. The herb tasting worksheet is for a blindfolded introduction task which will really engage students in investigating how taste is effected by eyesight. the homework sheet will consolidate learning covered and will show you where students need to gain more understanding. questions are levelled and colour coded to allow quick marking to SAVE YOU TIME!

These recipe cards are especially useful for KS3 (year 7 and 8) and cover many skills, themes and methods such as rubbing in, kneading, dextrinisation. Recipes are chicken curry, bread, jam tarts, pizza scones, dextrinisation toastie, deli salad, 'Wot noodle', spring rolls, sausage rolls, Tuscan bean soup, fresh pasta, apple crumble, mini quiches and pilaf rice. These recipes give lots of opportunity to develop and enhance products made and also can be used as simple 'go to' recipes which are reliable for students in KS4.

This power point includes a starter to help students identify different types of preservatives. It also contains some points for independent research into preservatives which is ideal for when you have access to computers. there is a linked presentation to help with this. I used power point with lower ability but would suit all learners. it includes a recipe for a quick dill pickle that is a quick practical and is easily achievable within 35-40mins and will allow time for feedback marking or other discussion. I find mini practical lessons like this useful for time to catch up on other admin tasks and gives students time to reflect on what they have done. I have included a slide that has simple burger ingredients on as a follow up practical for students to use their pickles on a burger they have made. The pickles will last in the fridge for at least 3 weeks which give you great flexibility of how and when you might use them. GOOD LUCK!

This template will guide your student through each step of the coursework and is designed to be delivered over 8 weeks. There is a slide of teacher notes to give additional information. the template is based on investigating different types of flour but can be easily adapted to any investigation

This template will guide your students through their NEA task. Each part is broken down and relates directly to the AQA specification. It will allow your class to work more independently which will allow you to work with students that require more support. It will also help you start to build your delivery of the new specification that will no doubt challenge teachers and students alike! All slide include red text to guide and instruct students. when students have finished each task they delete them.

This resource gives you 3-4 1 hour lessons. there is a starter to begin which tests students knowledge on sections of EW guide. There are a range of levelled tasks on the theme of carbohydrate that use page references to AQA Hodder book. These tasks are not copying out, but research based tasks that are ideal for independent student work or even a cover lesson (allowing you to GET THINGS DONE!) I have included the basic recipe for cottage pie. There is a slide to help test student ingredient knowledge and is ideal for a starter. This slide leads into work and tasks that will help students adapt their products using the influence and flavours of other cuisines. Happy Cooking!

This bundle of resources will give you all you need to get started to deliver NEA task 1. The Completed example shows how a high ability students research work would look like. The research worksheet will help students to achieve this and is structured to help less able. There is an investigation write up template allow students to write up research digitally. There is also a gluten ball experiment worksheet with marking labels which include success criteria to help you to mark work as quickly as possible which will SAVE YOU TIME!
