D&T KS3

Summary - Out now

Deliver a fun series of small tasks and challenges to better inform pupils to make personal dietary choices.

Understanding basic dietary requirements and what constitutes a healthy meal is at the core of this discrete unit. It has been designed so that it can be delivered in a regular non-specialist classroom, however if access to specialist facilities is available it will complement their use too. The lessons balance current thinking from NHS recommendations with inspiring and occasionally shocking statistics that provide a factual basis for understanding our nutritional needs. Delivered as a fun series of tasks and challenges students will be better informed to make personal dietary choices.

What's included in the toolkit?

The currently available units have been written to satisfy the new National Curriculum for Design and Technology. They are designed for teaching at KS3 but individual lessons in some units may also be appropriate for teaching Key Stages 2 or 4, particularly where Year 10 students may not previously have been exposed to certain topics.

• PowerPoint slides for each lesson
• Detailed lesson plans
• Learning objectives and outcomes
• Statement of which of the Government Guidelines are covered in the unit
• Worksheets and activities
• End-of-unit Assessment material
• Other material and links to online resources

I have just ordered two extra units as the resources that we purchased from you in April are brilliant and the kids love using them.
