Year 5 pupils will develop the skills and knowledge of cooking and nutrition by creating recipes and baking bread. They will explore mechanical systems by creating a moving toy and they will learn more about product design while investigating shelters.
By the end of Year 5 most children should:
Carry out research to identify the needs, wants, preferences and values of particular individuals and groups and indicate how the design features of their products will appeal to intended users
Develop a design specification to guide their thinking
Record design ideas through detailed, annotated drawings and sketches
Use ICT to enable accurate design, e.g. calculating ratio of ingredients needed for recipes
Produce appropriate lists of tools, materials and components suitable for the task and explain their choices
Understand how mechanical systems such as cams, gears and pulleys create movement
Accurately measure, cut, assemble and join materials and components applying a range of finishing techniques
Evaluate their products and ideas against the original design specification, identifying strengths and areas for development
Consider the views of others, including intended users, to improve their work
Understand and apply the principles of a healthy diet and lifestyle
Create, plan and prepare dishes, choosing ingredients and equipment and using them safely and hygienically
Understand how food is processed into ingredients that can be eaten or used in cooking, e.g. grain is milled to produce flour
