Getting ideas from existing products is always a useful and enjoyable way to start a design task. Year 8 disassemble cereal bars as they plan their own recipes. #agile #HPL@HPLEDU

Year 9 have been considering why a vegan diet may be the key to future food sustainability. We have been tasting a range of products and making our own plant based dishes. Not surprisingly, our vegan chocolate brownies proved to be most popular! #HPL@HPLEDU

Year 8 perfecting their kneading technique and learning about the functions of the ingredients used to make bread. We have yet to decide if the ‘French fold’ or the ‘two hand stretch’ will produce the best results! #HPL@HPLedu

As we are all considering the effects our shopping and eating habits may have on the environment, Year 9 have been investigating plant based protein sources as alternatives to meat. #HPL@HPLedu

Year 8 collect and collate data this morning to compare the success of different cake making methods. #HPL@HPLedu

Year 7 discover there is a lot more to fruit salad than meets the eye. Knife skills, cost, portion size, nutritional value and even environmental impact where all discussed this afternoon. But which did they prefer, home-made or shop bought? #HPL@HPLedu

[Tormead Food and Nutrition @Tormead_HE]

Year 11 use logical thinking when planning their investigations to develop relevant hypotheses. #HPL@HPLEDU
