Overview
Food for Thought is the second context book to be published for key stage 3 of the national curriculum course, STEP 5-16 Design and Technology. It develops work on food products introduced in the Core text for key stage 3. The book focuses on the various stages of producing a new food product, from initial idea to product launch. It also discusses the use of systems. This is developed to enable pupils to design their own food production system as a stimulus for using mechanics, electronics, pneumatics, systems analysis and business studies. The final chapter introduces the design of biosystems to grow plants, make yoghurt and ginger beer. The book is in full colour with the same exciting design and high standards of What a Performance! and the Core text.
