This editable lesson focuses on the core Design and Technology (DT) skill of researching through exploration. In this lesson, children explore a range of vegetables and potatoes cooked in different ways to learn where food comes from and how it can be prepared. They taste and compare foods to describe changes in taste and texture when food is cooked and begin to understand that vegetables are part of a healthy diet.
Please refer to the ‘DT safety guidance for schools and teachers’ advice when undertaking any practical activities.
