Photo cards could be used for this.  \n• Include fruit that is less likely to be known to the children.  \n• Stories and poems about food could be used for inspiration and as an introduction to the project.  \n• Visit a local shop or food market to give your project a real-life context.  \n• Carrots can provide a relatively cheap food for examining the effects of using different equipment such as grating, slicing into thin rings, slicing into sticks.  \n• Serrated knives with rounded ends are the best.  \n• Foods for chopping/slicing could be cut in half lengthways to provide a flat base and held still with, for example, a fork so that children cut safely.  \n• Before you organise any food tasting in your class, you need to check your school and local authority health and safety policy. Seek parental consent.  \n• As homework ask children to keep a weekly fruit and vegetable diary and ask them to record their results in a chart/table. If more appropriate, focus on fruit and vegetables served in school.  \nUseful resources at  \n[www.designtechnology.org.uk](www.designtechnology.org.uk)  \n• Caribbean fruit cocktails (7-9 years but contains useful information)  \n• Are you teaching food in Primary D&T?  \n• Super salads (7-9 years but contains useful information)  \n• Fantastic fruit  \nOther useful web-based resources:  \n• [www.foodafactoflife.org.uk](www.foodafactoflife.org.uk)  \nTeaching aids to demonstrate food processing skills  \nPeeling Cutting Slicing  \nGrating Squeezing  \nFood Processing Equipment  \n\n| Utensil | Food | Effect | Mouth feel |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Juicer\u003Cbr>| Orange | Makes juice | Liquid |\n| \u003Cbr>Peeler | Apple | Unpeeled apple | Crunchy |\n| Knife\u003Cbr>| Carrot | Thin rings | Crispy hard |\n\nHygiene – some key pointers  \n• Jewellery is removed  \n• Hair is tied back  \n• Sleeves are rolled up  \n• Aprons are on  \n• Hands are washed  \n• Cuts are covered with blue waterproof dressing  \n[Further information from www.foodafactoflife.org.uk](Further information from www.foodafactoflife.org.uk)  \nDesigning, making and evaluating a fruit snack for a class picnic  \nAn iterative process is the relationship between a pupil’s ideas and how they are communicated and clarified through activity. This is an example of how the iterative design and make process might be experienced by an individual pupil during this project:  \nTHOUGHT ACTION  \nWhat sort of fruit productshall I make?  \nWho will it be for? Which fruit will I put into my salad? Will my product appeal to  \nmy intended user? How will I process my fruit?  \nHow will different food processes create different effects?  \nWhat tools and food processing skills will I use? What order will I work in? How will I present my fruit snack?  \nDo I need to adjust or change anything?  \nRefining and reflecting.  \nWill my fruit salad meet the needs of the user and achieve its purpose?  \nTalking, drawing, writing lists, generating design criteria.  \nUsing different tools and practising using different food-processing skills, e.g. cutting, slicing, grating.  \nDiscussing and comparing different effects.  \nTrying them out and evaluating.  \nNegotiating, developing and agreeing a plan of action, evaluating actions.  \nDiscussing, trying out and modifying the design.  \nEvaluating the product with the intended user and against the design criteria.  \nGlossary  \n• Fruit – plant or tree’s edible seed with envelope.  \n• Vegetable – plant used for food.  \n• Nutrients – all the things in food that the body needs to remain healthy.  \n• Pith – the soft white lining inside fruit such as oranges.  \n• Salad – a cold dish of fresh and/or cooked vegetables or fruit.  \n• Sensory evaluati","cbCaitnPSyQKRe0k","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitnPSyQKRe0k","pdf",579819,"English","# Food\n## Preparing fruit and vegetables\n## Teaching tips and activities\n## Food processing equipment and techniques\n## Hygiene – some key pointers\n## Designing, making and evaluating a fruit snack\n## Glossary","[{\"question\":\"How can teachers help children learn to identify different fruit and vegetables?\",\"answer\":\"Use display fruit and photographs with technical vocabulary.
