Cases
Pupils should be taught to:
Design
use research and develop design criteria to inform the design of innovative, functional, appealing products that are fit for purpose, aimed at particular individuals or groups
generate, develop, model and communicate their ideas through discussion, annotated sketches, cross-sectional and exploded diagrams, prototypes, pattern pieces and computer-aided design
Make
select from and use a wider range of tools and equipment to perform practical tasks [for example, cutting, shaping, joining and finishing], accurately
select from and use a wider range of materials and components, including construction materials, textiles and ingredients, according to their functional properties and aesthetic qualities
Lesson 1: children explored the different types of cases and what they can be used for. Children researched a case type that they selected and created a design board to come up with different ideas for their product.
Lesson 2: children planned their case using their design boards
Lesson 3: for our Parent Stay and Learn activity this module, we made our cases.
Lesson 4: we evaluated our case product

Dal
Dal
Lesson 1: children explored the effect that our senses have on the taste of our food and our food preferences. Children ate a cracker while smelling different scents, listened to high and low pitched music to see if it changed the taste of chocolate and tasted yoghurt that had been turned a different colour.
Pupils should be taught to:
Design

Make
select from and use a wider range of materials and components, including construction materials, textiles and ingredients, according to their functional properties and aesthetic qualities
Evaluate
evaluate their ideas and products against their own design criteria and consider the views of others to improve their work
Cooking and nutrition
Cooking and nutrition
As part of their work with food, pupils should be taught how to cook and apply the principles of nutrition and healthy eating. Instilling a love of cooking in pupils will also open a door to one of the great expressions of human creativity. Learning how to cook is a crucial life skill that enables pupils to feed themselves and others affordably and well, now and in later life.
Key stage 2
understand and apply the principles of a healthy and varied diet
prepare and cook a variety of predominantly savoury dishes using a range of cooking techniques
understand seasonality, and know where and how a variety of ingredients are grown, reared, caught and processed.
Lesson 2: exploring the different types of taste
Children tasted different food/liquids and tried to identify the different tastes. We tried to work out where in the mouth these tastes were dominant and mapped out where the taste receptors for each type of taste are located.
Lesson 4: Making dal and evaluation
Using slow cookers, children followed a recipe to create a dal. Each group decided on an additional ingredient to add to the recipe.
Parents and carers came into school to taste the dal and evaluate it.
Lesson 3: Exploring herbs and spices
we discovered the difference between herbs and spices and used our sense of smell to try to identify them. Children described the scent and decided if they were appealing or not.

generate, develop, model and communicate their ideas through discussion, annotated sketches, cross-sectional and exploded diagrams, prototypes, pattern pieces and computer-aided design
Lesson 1: Market research
Pupils explored the different chocolate bars on the market and analysed the different features. As a class, we created a questionnaire to find out information about what people like and do not lie.
Lesson 2: Design criteria
Pupils explored what design criteria is and why it is important. We explored design criteria for different products and created design criteria for our own chocolate bar.
Lesson 3: Product and package design
Children designed their chocolate bar and packaging.
Lesson 4: Make
Children made their plans come to life and created their chocolate bars.
Lesson 5: Evaluation
Children created their own Google Form to evaluate their product. They selected 5 key features to evaluate using a scale of 1-8 and displayed the results using a spider chart.
