Dish it up
Dish it up is an interactive CD-ROM developed to help teachers make learning about food fun for young people (11-12 years). Informed by pupils’ feedback, the resource brings the subject of food and making healthier food choices to life in an enjoyable and fun way.
The CD-ROM includes a virtual journey split into three episodes, activities that cover hygiene hazards and body image and a series of interactive games. Teacher notes are also included.
Dish it up has been developed to:
• be both flexible and practical so teachers can choose and plan the most suitable way to use it either with a group or for whole class teaching
• support independent self study so pupils can learn and test their knowledge at their own speed
• support the curriculum with relevant links to food technology, home economics, science, personal health education and physical education
• be integrated within the whole school approach to food education
