Design and Technology – Year 7 Catering

DESIGN A BETTER BREAKFAST

Breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day. The word breakfast comes from ‘breaking the fast’ – because it’s the first meal you have after fasting (not eating) overnight.

In this activity, you’ll be designing a healthy breakfast to give you a good energy boost at the start of the day. Grain-based foods like bread and cereals are great for breakfast because they fill you up and release energy slowly throughout the morning.

You can present your work in loads of different ways... PowerPoint, models, writing, practical, photos/videos for example – so challenge your self and make it exciting. If you are struggling with your work or just need a bit of help, just ask your technology teacher.

Before you start, watch the video clips (clips 1-4 – intro, my favourite breakfast, toast and cereal) click here to see what people like to eat for breakfast. Then get your imagination going by watching the Tasty toppings video and the Super cereals video.

Compulsory Tasks (you must complete all of these tasks)

Research 1 1. First interview three friends about their breakfast habits. e.g. What do they eat for breakfast, what sorts of food do they enjoy, what sorts of food don’t they like?

Research 22. Find some recipe ideas for some great healthy breakfasts that are grain based. Include an image and some annotation (your thoughts, what makes them healthy, nutrition)

Design Ideas 33. Come up with some of your own ideas for a healthy breakfast that you and your friends would like. Draw your ideas and label them showing as much detail as you can. Evaluate your ideas. Explain how the foods in your breakfast idea contribute to a healthy diet. What nutrients do they contain?

Ideas help(from the video clips)

Breads and toppings- baguette- seeded bagel- pitta – wholemeal or white- sliced wholemeal bread- low fat cheese spread- fresh herbs- reduced sugar jam- low fat houmus- tomatoes

Cereals and toppings- muesli- bran flakes- chopped bananas- mixed nuts- dried fruit- seeds- honey

But how about using cereals or grains in a different way – you could use flour to make muffins or pancakes for example…..

Elective Tasks (you must complete a minimum of 1 task)

Moodboard4. Make a collage of images of healthy breakfasts. Include pictures, keywords, and any facts you think are important. Minimum size of the poster is A3.

Prepare 5. Make one of the breakfasts you have designed and take a photograph of it. Get someone’s opinion of the breakfast. This could be a parent or friend for e.g.

Powerpoint 6. Produce a PowerPoint presentation explaining why breakfast is important. Please do not copy and paste information – write in your won words.
