Processing

PRIOR KN0WLEDGE

1. This module involves the changes that one type of material or several types of material can undergo to form a new product. We call this PROCESSING. In this module we will look specifically at processing FOOD. A variety of ingredients are needed for the purpose.

Examples of processing

Assignment

1. COMPLETE ON YOUR OWN:

1. Use any recipe book or a magazine with recipes. Select any recipe and completeyour own table:
2. Write down all the equipment that you need to prepare your product:

Source of reference:

[LO 2.2]

Assignment

1. Use any explanatory dictionary and write down the meaning of each of the following processes for preparing food:

• blanch .
• chop .
• beat .
• marinate .
• decorate .

Source consulted: …………………..

Can you think of other processes? Write down as many as you can:

[LO 1.3]

1. When we prepare food, we call the materials we use ingredients . These can be vegetable (from plants) or animal (from animals). Go home and open your mother’s food cupboard and fridge. Complete the following table by writing down at least five examples of each.

1. These ingredients must be stored in the most suitable packaging so that the food can retain its nutritional value for as long as possible, and does not dry out, become moist or start to smell bad .

[LO 1.2]

Link each type of food with the most suitable packaging to ensure the above:

1. MEASURING UNITS FOR INGREDIENTS

Assignment

In what unit would you measure the following ingredients and what equipment would you use? Circle the correct answer.

Conclusion:

Fluids are usually measured in a measuring jug. Solids are measured on a scale to determine the correct mass. Recipe books nowadays indicate all the ingredients in measure of capacity because it is quicker to use measuring jugs and spoons than weighing each ingredient on a scale.

Learning Outcomes(LOs)

LO 1

TECHNOLOGICAL PROCESSES AND SKILLS

The learner will be able to apply technological processes and skills ethically and responsibly using appropriate information and communication technologies

Assessment Standards(ASs)

We know this when the learner:

1.2 finds out about existing products relevant to a problem, need or opportunity, and identifies and compares their design aspects (e.g. who it is for, what it is for, what it looks like, what it is made of, how well it works, whether it will affect the environment);

1.3 performs, where appropriate, scientific investigations about concepts relevant to a problem, need or opportunity using science process skills;

1.4 writes or communicates a design brief for the development of a product related to a given problem, need or opportunity that clarifies the technological purposes of the solution;

1.5 suggests and records at least two alternative solutions to the problem, need or opportunity that link clearly to the design brief and to given specifications and constraints (e.g. people, purpose, safety, environmental impact, appearance);

1.7 develops plans that detail the making steps, including drawings and sketches that help to clarify the plans;

1.8 chooses and uses suitable tools to make products by measuring, marking out, cutting or separating, shaping or forming, joining or combining, and finishing the chosen materials;

1.9 works efficiently and safely;

1.10 evaluates the product according to the design brief and given specifications and constraints (e.g. people, purpose, environmental impact, safety, appearance), and suggests improvements and modifications if necessary;

1.11 evaluates the plan of action followed and suggests improvements and modifications if necessary;

1.12 draws appropriate sketches (e.g. labelled two-dimensional drawings of ideas, enhanced drawings of final solutions and drawings showing measurements) to communicate different information appropriately and effectively.

LO 2

TECHNOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING

The learner will be able to understand and apply relevant technological knowledge ethically and

We know this when the learner:

2.2 demonstrates knowledge and understanding of the reasons for the deterioration of different materials, and ways of preserving them (e.g. drying, coating, canning, sealing).
