will have completed: 1 – Investigation Investigated the needs and research, and a product specification 2 – Designing This includes producing different design ideas, review of initial ideas, development of design ideas into a chosen design, communication of design ideas and review of the chosen design 3 – Making This includes manufacture, and quality and accuracy 4 – Evaluation This includes testing and evaluation. Students will have undertaken a project as part of their non-examination assessment. The

project will have tested students’ skills in investigation, designing, making and evaluation of a prototype of a product that has allowed them to apply the skills they have acquired and developed throughout their study. The exam board provided three themes, each with two contextual challenges. Students were required to choose one of these challenges and analyse it on an individual basis. Having selected a contextual challenge to work within, students have developed a range of potential ideas and then realised one
through practical making activities. The project has allowed students to apply knowledge and understanding in a product development process to investigate, design, make and evaluate their prototype. The project required students to follow an iterative design process rather than a linear process requiring them to continually test, evaluate and refine ideas. Assessments

Skills Analyse the task, explaining the background research. Conduct secondary research, using different sources, focusing on the working characteristics, functional and chemical properties of the ingredients. Analyse the research and use the findings to plan the practical investigation. Establish a hypothesis/predi ct an outcome because of the research findings. The hypothesis should be a statement which may be proved or disproved. Investigate and evaluate how ingredients work
Skills Analyse the task by explaining the research requirements. Carry out relevant research and analysis related to the: life stage, dietary group, or culinary tradition. Identify a range of dishes e.g., by mind-mapping, or using annotated images. Select and justify a range of technical skills to be used in the making of different dishes. Demonstrate technical skills in the preparation and cooking of three to four dishes. Select and use equipment for different technical skills in the preparation and cooking of selected dishes. Food safety principles should be demonstrated when storing, preparing, and cooking. Identify the technical skills within each dish. Photographic evidence will be needed to authenticate the technical skills. Justify the appropriateness of the final dishes in terms of e.g., technical skills, nutrition, ingredients, cooking methods, food provenance, sensory properties, and portion size.

By the end of Year 11 students will have: Considered the influence of lifestyle and consumer choice when developing meals and recipes Considered nutritional needs and food choices when selecting recipes, including when making decisions about the ingredients, processes, cooking methods and portion sizes Developed the ability to review and make improvements to recipes by amending them to include the most appropriate ingredients, processes, cooking methods and portion sizes Managed the time and cost of recipes effectively Used their testing and sensory evaluation skills, adjusting where needed, to improve the recipe during
and why through practical experimentation. Each investigation should be related to the research and have a clear aim which can then be concluded. Analyse and interpret the results of the investigative work. The results will be linked to the research and data explaining the working characteristics, functional and chemical properties of the ingredient(s). Evaluate the hypothesis/predi ction with justification. Explain how the results/findings can be applied in practical food preparation and cooking.
Produce a detailed time plan to produce the final three dishes including appropriate techniques. Within the plan, food safety principles will be demonstrated when storing, preparing, cooking, and presenting the final dishes. Demonstrate appropriate use of the three hours to dovetail tasks to prepare, cook and present the final three dishes. Selection and use of equipment for different technical skills in the preparation and cooking of the final three dishes Knowledge and application of food safety principles (including temperature control) when storing, preparing, cooking, and presenting the final three dishes. Selection, knowledge, and use of ingredients when producing different dishes. Appropriate use of the three hours to demonstrate: technical skills, processes, and the use of equipment. Execution of a range of technical skills with accuracy Good judgement about cooking times and methods and the sensory properties of each dish
the preparation and cooking process Explained, justified, and presented their ideas about their chosen cooking methods to others
Made decisions about which techniques are appropriate based on their understanding of nutrition, food, different culinary traditions and cooking and food preparation content to achieve their intended outcome. They should be able to carry out these techniques safely and combine them into appealing meals whilst evaluating the results.
