5. Weighing and Measuring It is very important that we weigh out ingredients accurately to ensure the product is always the same and works. How many grams (g) in a kilogram (kg)?.................... How many millilitres (ml) in a litre (l)? (look in your cupboard)……………. You will be given 3 items in front of you. Estimate how much you think they will weigh and then use you scales to give you the correct answer. Year 7 Food Technology Mascalls School

6. Energy Food is the body’s source of energy. All food provides energy. We need energy to: grow, be active and maintain our health. Different types of food provide different amounts of energy. Cut out the food cards and place them in order of the amount of energy they provide per portion (most first) and then stick them below.

7. Beat the Bacteria To make sure that food is safe to eat, it must be stored, made and eaten in a clean place. Draw a line to join each rule to a hazard. Remember that rules can prevent more than one hazard. Bacteria grow in warmfood. Bacteria get into damaged products. Bacteria grow overtime. Bacteria grow whenwarm. Bacteria spread from raw meat to cookedproducts. Bacteria grow in dirtycloths. Bacteria grow in rawmeat. Bacteria live in the soil. Bacteria grow when cold food warms up. Flies can carry bacteria.
