Design
Pupils should be taught to:
- 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.
Evaluate
Pupils should be taught to:
- Investigate and analyse a range of existing products.
- Evaluate their ideas and products against their own design criteria and consider the views of others to improve their work.
- Understand how key events and individuals in design and technology have helped shape the world.
Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: Will need to work in mixed ability groups to get support from their peers and be closely supervised in the kitchen to ensure they are kept safe and use equipment safely.
Pupils working at greater depth: Encourage these children to design product packaging specifically for attracting their target audience. For example, a sauce for a family with children might be brightly coloured with cartoon vegetables. Whereas a sauce aimed at professional couples might use italicised writing and promote the quality of the ingredients.
