Level 3 Food Technology
FT300 Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Andrea Graham.
Recommended Prior LearningLevel 2 Food Technology.
Students need to be experienced cooks and have a knowledge of cooking and ingredients.
Welcome to our Food Technology course! In this class, you'll learn about food design and creation. Food Technology is all about understanding the science and art behind the food we eat, from how it's made to how it looks and tastes.
This course is hands-on and project-based, giving you the chance to bring your ideas to life. Throughout the year, we’ll tackle two main projects. For the first, we’ll brainstorm together as a class and decide on a topic. The second project you’ll get to prepare lunch for the teachers on Mercy Day at the end of Term 3.
We'll cover three important standards, including one external, all while focusing on designing and making delicious food products. Whether you’re interested in cooking, baking, or just learning more about food, this course will help you develop your skills in a practical way.
The standards will be:
| 91610 | Technology | Develop a conceptual design considering fitness for purpose in the broadest sense | 6 credits | Internal | ||
| 91611 | Technology | Develop a prototype considering fitness for purpose in the broadest sense | 6 credits | Internal | ||
| 91612 | Technology | Demonstrate understanding of how technological modelling supports technological development and implementation | 4 credits | External | ||
Students who have not taken technology before are welcome to pick up this course, by negotiation with Ms Graham
