QCA

Objectives

Children should learn:
  • how different products are made as a one-off or in high volume

Activities

Outcomes

Children:
  • Talk to the pupils about how well particular products are suited to manufacture in large volume. Discuss how different products are made in different ways, eg
    • a decorated cake is made for a special event (a one-off)
    • a ready-prepared meal may be made as a batch or in higher volume
    • formed foods, such as chicken shapes and biscuits, can be made in vast quantities and each one that comes off the production line is exactly the same as others (high-volume production)
  • describe one or two differences between a one-off and a high-volume product, and give four examples of one-off products and four examples of high-volume products
