– a pupil can compare two different recipes or two versions of the same recipe, by deleting an ingredient and replacing it (temporarily) with a different one. Example: Cheese Scones, one with white flour, the other with wholemeal flour, showing an increase in NSP and a decrease in Starch. Graphs can be saved for later use in word processed reports. |
|
| – a pupil can
total the dishes in a meal or the dishes in a day’s meals. Example: totalling minestrone soup, fish parcels, Russian salad, and a dessert to evaluate if the selection meets dietary targets. From version 6.1, students can decide to produce a pie chart with one sector exploded to highlight the energy source they wish to discuss in a report. |
