2.1 Rules regarding hygiene

Technology

ACTIVITY 1:

To be able to name and apply the rules regarding hygiene.

Bacteria cause food decay, which can result in food infection or food poisoning. It is essential for food to be protected against harmful bacteria. In order to do so, a few basic rules must be applied in the kitchen and also with regard to personal hygiene.

The drawings that follow illustrate aspects of hygiene in the kitchen, as well as personal hygiene.

Learning Outcomes(LOs)

LO 1
TECHNOLOGICAL PROCESSES AND SKILLS The learner will be able to apply technological processes and skills ethically and responsibly using appropriate information and communication technology.
This is demonstrated when the learner:
investigates:1.1 investigates the background context, the nature of the need, the environmental situation, and the people concerned when given a problem, need or opportunity set in a nationally relevant context;
1.3 develops and performs practical tests in the technological areas (Structures, Processing, and Systems and Control);
1.4 uses appropriate technologies and methods to:
collect relevant data from different sources and resources; extract relevant data; make meaningful summaries;use information to justify and support decisions and ideas;
designs:1.5 writes or communicates a short and clear statement or a design brief in response to a given identified situation for the development of a product or system;
1.6 lists product and design specifications and constraints for a solution to an identified or given problem, need or opportunity based on most of the design key words listed below:
people: age target market; purpose: function; appearance: colour, shape; environment: where will product be used; safety: for users; cost: cost of materials;
1.7 generates several alternative solutions and writes notes, ideas that show some links to the design brief and specifications;

makes:1.9 develops a plan for making that outlines all of the following: resources needed; sketches showing the necessary dimensions or quantities; all steps necessary to making the product (makes);
1.10 chooses and uses appropriate tools and materials to make products by measuring, marking, cutting or separating, shaping or forming, joining or combining, and finishing different materials accurately using appropriate techniques;
1.12 uses safe working practices and shows awareness of efficient ways of using materials and tools;
evaluates:1.13 tests and evaluates the products or systems with objectivity, based on objective criteria linked to the design brief, specifications and constraints, and suggests sensible improvements or modifications;
communicates:1.15 presents ideas using two-dimensional or three dimensional sketches, circuit diagrams or systems diagrams that include all of the following features: use of SA drawing conventions (e.g. dimension lines, labelling, line types, symbols); notes to clarify and communicate design features and reasoning; enhancement of significant sketches like final solution drawings.

ACTIVITY 1

Allow learners to write down their own rules, present them to the class and then respond to the reactions from the class.
