Children learn basic food preparation techniques and ways of combining components to create simple food products for a particular purpose. They develop their designing skills by using their own experiences and evaluating existing products to develop ideas. Through discussion, they develop criteria for their design proposals and suggest ways to proceed. They develop their making skills by learning to combine components according to taste, appearance or texture to create a product that contributes to a healthy diet. Through this activity children develop an awareness of health and safety and learn that the quality of the product depends on how well it is made and presented.
This unit can be adapted by using an alternative context for the children's designing and making assignment eg snacks, pizza toppings.
