Brief has identified the issue and opportunity. The brief has a Conceptual Statement that...
"identifies the target market and purpose of the product (ie for school events)." Specifications are identified from key factors that can be measured and allow evaluation of final prototype or product. Brief will be revised throughout Technological Practice when and if necessary through ongoing consultation with representative stakeholders (Focus Group).


Written brief.

 


Revised brief.

Conceptual Development
Review existing recipes. Carry out existing recipes in pairs then perform a sensory attributes test on each sample in comparison to "Cookie Time" product.
Practicals to include:

  • Variety of chocolate chippie biscuit recipes;
  • Toll house cookies;
  • Brownies.
    Sensory Attribute Tests done on class groups. Samples kept for testing

• Creaming;
• Measuring;
• Ball forming;
• Uniform sizing.


4-5 recipes selected with evaluating notes on suitability related to brief.


Observations made and comments given to class and individuals to encourage improvement in skills.



Recipes with comments.

 

Observation.

 

 

Six samples kept: sealed, labeled and stored for testing next lesson. One sample given out to each of the groups for testing attributes compared to the "Cookie Time" product.
Class (focus group) decide on 2-3 recipes that best suit the brief. Trial then choose one to present to class

  To develop ability to describe attributes instead of judgements like "yuck", "yum", and "OK".
