Making – year 11 work
• Paper is 1½ hours long
• 80 marks
Look at the revision booklet for all topics
that you could be tested on.
Use your revision guide to help you.
• Revision list
• Past papers – mark schemes:
OCR Food Technology A525 Sustainability and
Technical Aspects of Design and Making
• Practice reading questions – exam technique
• Make a list of key terms you don’t understand to
discuss in class
Plan ahead
Testing yourself and planning ahead are the two
strategies that have been proven to work
- the best strategy is to plan ahead and not do
all your revision on one subject in a block
before moving on to the next - a technique
called "distributed practice".
Help at home?
• Talk to your son/daughter about revision
• Mealtimes could be a good time to ask about
nutrients in foods, eg sources of protein, fat,
fibre, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals
• Ask them how sustainable are the
ingredients/foods - think about air miles
• Encourage them to look at food labels and
packaging – can they explain all of the symbols on
the packaging? What material is the packaging
and is it recyclable – how do you know it is?
Packaging symbols – words removed!
Remember -food
suitable for
freezing NOT a
freezer symbol
