| Preplanning: The Big Three in Technology Practice If there is the opportunity for a technologist to visit through teacher networks such as Futureintech Visit from it could be this part of the unit could be used to discuss Food Technology and what are the three parts to Technological Practice: – Technology (product, process, package) – Market (competitors, current products) – Consumer (stakeholder needs, wants, opportunities) Suggested class activity Re-watch the video sequence related to Uncle Toby's Chewy Muesli Bar. Give students the opportunity to identify what stages of the product develop process was related to these three parts. Class discussions about the need for research around these 3 parts to contribute to the class outcome development. Suggested questions for class to discuss might include: • To develop our outcome what do we already know in relation to Technology, Market and Consumer? • To develop our outcome what do we need to find out in relation to Technology, Market and Consumer? • What tasks/ activities may this include? |
Principles Inclusion: • Students feel included and valued in their individual participation within the group and class environments for a common goal. Key Competencies Participating and contributing: • Give students the opportunity to feel part of a common goal; to understand roles and responsibilities; to contribute appropriately as a group member; to make connections with others and to create opportunities for others in the group; to understand that the success and/ or failure of the outcome will affect everyone involved.

Futureintech Video: "Developing New Food Products" Whiteboard for class discussion and / or paper for group discussions |
Is there time to use introduce or return to teaching about the big 3 of Technology practice? Could a food technologist be brought in for a visit to make it "real"? Is it worthwhile for the focus of the unit? Would as activity ensure students felt they had contributed to the planning of the project? Develop understandings of Technological Practice in product development to meet an opportunity in a food context outside the classroom situation. Identify the key stages within Technological Practice within a food context. |
