Course Content
Food Technology involves students in a “design and make” process
with food products. Throughout the two year course students
analyse and research design problems. They generate and develop
a range of ideas and then make, to a high standard, the design
which suits the requirements they have identified. Industrial
practices and the use of IT are also studied.
In Year 10 they are involved in a number of short design tasks
which prepares them for their major coursework in Year 11.
2 hours each week are spent on practical work for which students
need to bring ingredients.
1 hour is spent on the design work and evaluation.
Topics covered include:-
Cakes and Pastries
Cook-chill products
Yeast cookery
Desserts
Exam Requirements
60% of the marks are awarded for the coursework and 40% for the
written examination at the end of year 11.
