Active Revision Worksheets for AQA GCSE Food

What do teachers say about this resource? (12061)

I would recommend this resource to anyone who is about to embark on this section of the course. I like how the activities are not too long, the activities are straightforward and it is clear to students what they need to be doing. I would recommend it as a useful resource for Key Stage 3 leaners as well as KS4. The resource has a logical flow but can also be dipped in and out of when needed by the teacher/assessor to support where necessary. It is clearly laid out and easy-to-follow structure, with the different sections allowing students to progress at their own pace. The mark scheme makes it very time-efficient for teachers and gives students immediate feedback. The resource supports formative assessment and enables learners to gauge the attainment of knowledge at regular intervals which students will benefit from enormously. The resource is ideal as either a revision tool or as papers that students could complete as an extension/homework activity.
Written in very accessible style, with lots of different scaffolded sections designed to facilitate demonstration of knowledge, aligned A01 to extended questions that challenge students to analyse and evaluate, aligned to A04. This would be invaluable to gauge student learning. A very valuable resource for those teaching GCSE Food Preparation and Nutrition

A really useful resource! There is a whole range of different question styles with varying levels of difficulty. I could also use a lot of this to test students on their nutrition knowledge for Unit 2 WJEC Hosp and Catering!

This resource could simply be photocopied and given out to students of all ability levels. It is well scaffolded and some will only manage the first 2 sections whilst others will push on to complete sections C and D [Exam-style questions].

Well laid out and very easy to follow. Ideal for the AQA course as often nutrition is taught at the start of year 10 so is the first to be revised in year 11 and will mean an awful lot less work producing revision materials! Another great resource from ZigZag.

This resource will be useful to use when teaching the AQA course. It can be used as revision strategies as planned for, but similarly could be used as homework tasks or activities within the lesson. It follows the examination specification which is of use. I like the self-assessment of bronze, silver and gold... it allows students to see their own progress. It allows students to apply knowledge of content to exam-style questions throughout. The mark scheme is also useful for teachers and students. It allows students to apply their understanding of content to exam-style questions, this will prepare them more readily for the exam. 

Overall, I think this is a good resource. The information matches the specification well and can easily be cross referenced back to the specification. All of the information in the resource is factual and accurate. Generally, it is written in a way that its intended audience will understand. The content in the resource seems flexible enough to be used with KS3 too. The vast majority of the specification points have been met. The activities and questions are good and enhance learning. They are flexible tasks which can be used in a variety of scenarios i.e. for homework, as a starter, as a plenary or as a main part of the lesson. Some of the tasks, like the extension tasks, for example, are good for group discussions or paired work. I think the water section of the document is really good... I like the first two tasks in particular. These questions are nice easy ways for children to start the topic. They are bright and have images, which help embed information. I would use this resource with both my KS3 and 4 groups. I like the fact that you can use the resource in a variety of different ways. The resource is useful to be used in the following ways… Starter/ plenary – Some of the questions can be used to test a student’s knowledge at the start of the topic. Once the information has been taught you can then green pen mark the question and add in any additional information to the question; Main task – Once the information has been taught use specific sections to test their knowledge; Group work – Sections like the extension task can be used to test student understanding; Discussion point – Sections like the extension tasks can be used to question students’ knowledge; Homework – Parts of the resource or whole sections of the resource can be used to provide meaningful and useful homework for students; End of Unit test or at the start of the topic – Whole sections can be given to students at the end of a topic to see what they know/where the gaps in their knowledge are.

I would recommend this resource to anyone who is about to embark on this section of the course. It provides easy to understand scaffolded assessment practice activities that help prepare learners for assessment. I would recommend as a useful resource for Key stage 3 leaners as well as KS4. The resource supports formative assessment and enables learners to gauge attainment of knowledge at regular intervals, which students will benefit from enormously. The resource is ideal as either a revision tool, or as papers which students could complete as an extension/homework activity. Written in very accessible style, with lots of different scaffolded sections designed to facilitate demonstration of knowledge aligned to A01, to extended questions which challenges students to analysis and evaluation aligned to A04. This resource covers of all the underpinning knowledge and understanding needed to ensure that learners are fully prepared for section 3.4 Food safety. A very valuable resource for those teaching GCSE Food Preparation and Nutrition

I like the progression from the easier to the more analytical questions. Lots of students struggle with the application of what they have learnt so this will be good practice for them. I would use either as a home learning task after teaching this topic or as part of a revision and recap lesson. Students can complete and then we identify sections that need more input. Lots of ways for it to be used; very useful!!!

Good revision resource, or for students who have joined the course late. Covers the points for AQA. Could also be used as the basis for revision for Hospitality and Catering with the addition of some other questions by the class teacher. Will save lots of time and effort in an already busy day!
