EVALUATE & CHOOSE

Test out different ingredients, techniques / processes and equipment options.

Choose the best ones for your dinner.

Test INGREDIENTS and choose the best ones

Experiment and test some different ingredients to get the best outcome. E.g. you could test different varieties of beans and lentils, or different types of tofu.

Beans

    • red kidney, pinto, white, navy, black

Chickpeas

Lentils

    • red lentils, brown lentils, green lentils

Tofu

    • silken tofu, firm tofu, soft tofu

Find out which makes the best outcome. Consider: colour, taste, cost, nutrition, texture, cooking methods required.


Test PROCESSES and choose the best ones

For example, you may try a number of ways of cooking the tofu:

  • draining it first on paper towels

  • coating it in corn starch prior to cooking

  • stove-top in non-stick pan

  • oven baked

  • pre-marinating

  • sprinkling with seasonings in pan

Run a trial to find out which processes work best with your chosen ingredients.

Choose your TOOLS and EQUIPMENT

Choose the best equipment for making your dinner outcome.

Consider what is available, what saves time and what gives a consistent quality outcome.




Google Classroom Assessment

Open the Assessment in Google Classroom. Write down which ingredients & processes you tested and what your results were.

Write down tools/equipment you have chosen to use.

Write down the ingredients and processes you have chosen to use and give an evaluation of the various ingredients and processes.


Prototype Language

MAKE YOUR PROTOTYPE

Social environment - people who will be interacting with the outcome.

Physical environment - where the outcome will be situated.

Make Your Prototype Meal

Use the materials, components, tools and equipment you selected to make your prototype to address your brief.

Write down how you made your prototype in the Google Classroom Assessment. Include photos too.

TRIAL YOUR DINNER IN CONTEXT

Social environment - people who will be interacting with the outcome.

Physical environment - where the outcome will be situated.

Trialling your product in context

Trial your dinner in its intended social environment (the people who will be interacting with the outcome), and physical environment (where the outcome will be situated).

Record these trials, and the results of them in your assessment. What did you learn? How did this inform your prototyping and product development? What decisions did you make as a result?

Template

Exemplar Examples

91357-EXP-student2-001.pdf

This student has made a refined prototype for a mobile chilly bin.

This student has evaluated practical techniques and processes to determine their appropriateness for use (1), and used evidence from ongoing testing and stakeholder feedback to inform the making and trialling of the prototype (2).

To reach Excellence, the student could synthesise the on-going testing and stakeholder feedback. Often decisions seemed to be made on the basis of ‘what my stakeholder and I decided’, and the justification for this decision making could be more apparent.
