Year 10 Food Technology
Course Description
This course is a step up from Year 9 Technology. It focuses on the development of food related products, which address a technological problem. The course may use other materials or concepts from alternative technologies in an innovative way. Students will apply their knowledge of the technology process to investigate an issue and develop an outcome which meets the requirements of an identified stakeholder or client. The research into their issue may include working in consultation with other learning areas of the school. Practical skills, product trials and the manufacture of the final concept form a major component of this course.
