01Course content

Every module, and the dot points inside it

Dux tracks each dot point separately, so “I did Food Technology Year 10” becomes a list of specific things you can already do and specific things you have never been asked. Open a module for all of its dot points, written out.

Food and Society

Food systems as public issues: access, health, equity and environment.

  • Food security in Australia and globally
  • Food deserts and access
  • Ultra-processed food and health
All 8 dot points
02How you are asked

The command words this course marks on

How a Food Technology Year 10 paper is built

Year 10 Assessment Task Shape — 50 marks, 75 minutes. Practice papers in Dux are assembled to this shape rather than invented, so the timing is training too.

  1. Section I: Knowledge and skills10 marks
  2. Section II: Written responses40 marks

Start with the Food Technology Year 10 dot points you have never been asked

Diagnostic first, then questions written in the shape this course uses. Written answers come back marked against the bands, not just scored.
