Design & Food Tech
Year 9
Rotation 1
Health and safety in a workshop: AUTOMATA
-
Pupils will begin their investigation by researching AUTOMATAS systems and control, the BAUHUAS Art and Design Movement and its key design principles. They will then design and make an Automata using hand skills and CAD /CAM. (computer aided design, computer aided manufacture).
-
What pupils should know by the end of this topic/theme.
Pupils will be able to:
Work safely within the workshop, be able to select from and use a wider and more complex range of materials and forms of construction.
Design and make a working automata that functions and moves using cogs.
-
How to use tools correctly to create a quality finished product.
How to fix components together using a range of fixing methods.
Test, evaluate and refine their ideas.
Understand the use of mechanical systems to create movement.
-
What pupils will do in order to gain the knowledge and skills.
Make a finished product that has a quality finish. Understand the process of mechanical systems and control and apply to their product.
-
What prior learning is necessary for pupils to be successful / what concepts will be revisited.
Drawing, design and make skills form Yr 7 and Yr 8.
Isometric drawing.
Correct use of key tools and machinery.
-
The ideas pupils will understand and the words they will be able to use.
Students will understand the process of design and make from start to finish.
Research, design and make Process: Design, make, isometric drawing, quality product. CAD/CAM Coral Draw, processes.
Tools, machinery and materials: Coping saw, pillar drill, tenon saw, sandpaper, vice, hand file, band-facer, dowel, pine wood, acrylic. CAD/CAM Coral Draw.

Rotation 2
Health and safety in a workshop: LED LIGHT
-
Pupils will begin their investigation by brainstorming potential theme ideas linked to the design brief. They will then design and make a small LED light that using hand skills and CAD /CAM. (computer aided design, computer aided manufacture) and that involves inputs and outputs, systems and control.
-

Project 1
Practical Theme: Cake Making Methods
Theory Theme: The Hospitality and Catering Industry
-
Students will Complete a 9/10 Week Project.
They will demonstrate practical preparation skills using a variety of hand and electrical equipment to combine ingredients. They will show use of the oven and the hob to cook ingredients and take care to present products carefully, using portion control, and in an attractive way.
Theory lessons will focus on the Hospitality and Catering Industry. Students will be able to name different hospitality and catering establishments, and the differences between commercial and non-commercial establishments. They will identify different jobs that are available, and the skills and personal characteristics suited to different jobs.
-
What pupils should know by the end of this topic/theme .
Different places that offer hospitality and catering, and the skills required to work in this industry.
-
Practical preparation of ingredients using basic skills such as melting, stirring, sifting, measuring through to more complex skill with mixers, whisks, bain-marie and oven baking.
-
What pupils will do to gain the knowledge and skills.
Learning tasks place through a variety of theory and practical tasks. They will use groups discussion, watch videos and demonstrations and take part in role playing activities.
They will use the food technology rooms for the authentic experience of handling preparation and cooking a range of ingredients.
-
What prior learning is necessary for pupils to be successful / what concepts will be revisited.
Students will revise use of the kitchen, how to prepare food safely and how to minimise risk and danger to themselves and others.
They will use kitchen skills they have developed previously in different recipes.
-
The ideas pupils will understand and the words they will be able to use.
Aeration
Rubbing In
Melting
Baking
Testing for readiness
Hospitality Industry
Catering Establishment
Job Roles
Personal attributes
-
Recipes and challenge questions will be set on a fortnightly basis to consolidate learning from the classroom and allow students the opportunity to practise skills they have learnt in the classroom.
Student choose from either a practical task that repeats skills that have been learnt at school, or a set of challenge questions that explore the theory topics in more detail.
