Task 4

Materials and tools for a working group:

depending on kind of the food to be prepared – e.g. for the production of oat flakes and flour: oats, mortar (or wooden board and hammer); juice: oranges, hand juicer, glass; bread: flour, yeast, water, sugar; butter: cream, cup with lid, bowl, plate, teaspoon, cold water.

The third task is aimed at clarifying the technological process of production of some foods. The teacher can focus on any product, e.g. following the previous task in which pupils have devoted themselves to the benefits of plants for man, the teacher can present various food products. The task of pupils will be to identify the raw material from which the product is produced.

Each group chooses one product and attempts to clarify the process of its production, ie how pupils would proceed if they want to produce such a product at school or at home. Each group will record the workflow, tools, the materials. The teacher discusses with pupils their proposals and asks other groups of pupils to comment on the proposed procedures.

If possible, all the proposed procedures should be tried. Otherwise, the teacher can prepare an activity e.g. production of flour or oat flakes. The teacher will give each group a bowl of oats and invite them to suggest a process for making oat flakes and flour. It allows the pupils to discuss the procedure with each other – even in this case, the pupils should indicate the exact workflow and the tools they need.
