The BBC teach website has recently launched a series of animated video clips based on the new GCSE Food and Nutrition curriculum. The videos which have been animated by Matt Howarth and the content written by food expert and consultant Anita Cormac OBE will be a welcome addition to my scheme of work in the upcoming years.
The series includes 9 videos of key topics in the new curriculum including:
Hydration
Healthy Eating
Eatwell Guide
The importance of eating breakfast.
Cooking Methods
Labelling
Sensory Testing
Food Production and Processing
Food Safety
During the production of the videos, I felt very privileged to be asked to be honorary consultant in the process. This meant that my advice was sought in relation to the content, its suitability and how the videos would help with teaching the new curriculum. As part of this process I piloted the videos with my key stage 4 pupils who were invited to critique the videos.Their comments were very helpful in fine tuning the final versions.
The pupils in general loved the graphics, sound effects and the use of flashcards for key definitions. The y found the introduction of what they will learn particularly helpful and were very much in agreement that the videos were excellent teaching aids and revision tools. So I hope you enjoy using them in your own lessons as much as I enjoyed being involved in the production and piloting of them.
Check out the links below and see for yourselves.
Your short videos are wonderful! Fantastic thank you. Can I sign up to get any others?
Cheers
