Learning Grids for AQA GCSE Food Prep and Nutrition

A fantastic way to support weaker learners!

Comprehensive and includes all of the required information

G Crawford, Food and Nutrition teacher & Peer Reviewer

Students read their textbooks/notes to complete a grid of questions in exact specification order. Cross-referenced to the major textbooks to ensure structured study.

Exemplar completed grids for easy marking and provide revision notes with full specification coverage!

The organised and active learning method helps students understand the key points and build confidence.

Brilliant for students who learn best by doing. Dramatically improves learning for learners in need of additional support; highly motivating.

A very valuable resource not only for those teaching FPN for the first time but also for the experienced teacher

What do teachers say about this resource? (9073)

I think that this is a good resource to embed the course content for section 3.5 into your classroom teaching or enhance independent learning activities. It does what is says on tin, the activities are simple and straight forward making it an ideal resource supplement teaching and learning. The resource has a logical flow and follows the specification. It can be dipped in and out of when needed by the teacher to support learning where necessary. The activities are short in their duration and can be completed as plenaries or to support knowledge retrieval. The vocab matches the specification and is useful for the retrieval knowledge gap which learners may have. Written in very accessible style, with space for the students to apply their findings/answers. Opportunities are provided with answers which is invaluable for success within the exam. This resource aids with the underpinning knowledge and understanding needed to ensure that learners are fully prepared for this course and they are able to grasp concepts. Anyone can use this resource with confidence. A very valuable resource not only for those teaching FPN for the first time but also for the experienced teacher looking to enhance their retrieval or plenary content of their lessons.

I particularly like how much information is included in this resource. It is comprehensive and includes all of the required information. I like how it is in a question format, rather than just providing the students with the information.
