Year 10 Food & Nutrition Technology

Students will gain knowledge of the technology process through planning, designing and understanding a brief.  Through this course students will gain social and cooperative skills through the extension use of group work.  They will build on the practical and organisational skills they gained in Year 9.

Year 10 Food Technology builds on nutritional knowledge gained in Year 9.  The course looks at the food groups and the nutrients that are available in each group.  This knowledge will be beneficial for Year 11.

Students will learn to:

• Investigate food groups and the nutrients that are available in each group
• Broaden knowledge of nutrients that need to be supplied by the diet and their importance
• Demonstrate safe working practices when using equipment and working with food.
• Personal and preparation hygiene practices
• Design and develop a food product
