Year 9 Food Technology

You will learn about designing food products to meet the needs of identified consumer groups. You will analyse existing products and develop your own criteria for a given product type. You will follow the design process to develop a solution to a given design brief. On successful completion of your Design Workbook, you will create a food product in the kitchen. The focus is placed on how good products are developed by food technologists. You will develop enterprise and innovation.

A high level of self-discipline is important, as safety is a priority at all times. Students taking this course must have covered shoes (NO sandals).

By the end of this course students will have completed a 'Working with others' topic, a 'Safety at the Plate' topic, a 'Nourish your body' topic and a 'Develop a healthier frozen dessert product' topic - all with booklet completions and practical assessments.
