Units of work

These food and nutrition units include content from the Health and Physical Education and Design and Technologies key learning areas. They specifically address content in the nutrition, food and fibre production and food specialisations areas.

​

Units are available for each year from K to 10 and are designed to be progressive, that is, the content in each year builds on learning from the previous year. In each year, the focus is either on the Health and Physical Education or the Design and Technologies key learning area; however, content from both KLAs is included each year. 

​​

The units of work have been designed for teachers to implement with minimal preparation. They include background information for teachers to confidently teach food and nutrition content. The units include a unit outline, lesson plans with assessment and marking rubric, slides for each lesson, and a student booklet with activity sheets. Teachers are encouraged to print a student booklet for each student at the beginning of the unit, as all activities are contained within the booklet (a middle staple is best so the sheets don't tear off). 

​

These documents can be used as is, or edited to suit the needs of your students and classrooms.

 

Note: While content is available for each individual year level, given the Australian Curriculum year bands, content from years 1 & 2, 3 & 4, 5 & 6, 7 & 8 and 9 & 10 can be interchanged, for example, year 1 content can be taught to year 2 students and vice versa. 

​

Content is currently mapped to the Australian Curriculum V9 and Victorian Curriculum V2.0. Future updates will include reference to other jurisdictional curriculum.
