Food Technology

by Jill Robinson, Helen Roberts, Tristram Shepard

Designed to provide direct support for the revised GCSE Key Stage 4 Technology syllabuses, this series has been prepared by a team of NEAB examiners. Each book contains a mixture of extended projects, tasks and activities, together with written-paper key points and sample questions. Coverage of appropriate knowledge and understanding is integrated into a project structure, so that pupils prepare themselves for the written paper as they tackle the coursework. Alternatively, sections of the books can be used as a general resource to support any project. The linked television series emphasises industrial design and manufacturing practices, the application of systems and control, and the use of IT. Each programme is intended as a general introduction to these aspects of the National Curriculum within the context of the examination syllabus. This book is based on three units of work, divided into a series of activity-based food-technology topics. The first unit includes coverage of topics such as the evaluation of chilled products, the second deals with baked products, and the theme of the third is eating out. The units are followed by a project guide, providing prompts and checklists to ensure coverage of the investigation, development, testing, evaluation and presentation of design proposals.
