NSW Food Technology Years 7-10 (Stage 4, Year 8) - food in Australia, food safety, nutrition and food selection - expressed in Dux teaching language.
Dux tracks each dot point separately, so “I did Food Technology Year 8” 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.
What Australians eat, where it came from, and how the food system changed it.
Keeping food safe from the shop to the plate, and knowing why each rule exists.
What food provides, what labels claim, and how choices are actually made.
A Food Technology Year 8 paper is not one question type repeated. Each command word asks for a different shape of answer, and each is worth a different number of marks.
| Command word | Question type | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| analyse | Short answer | 3–5 |
| describe | Short answer | 2–3 |
| evaluate | Extended response | 4–6 |
| explain | Short answer | 3–4 |
| identify | Multiple choice | 1 |
| select | Multiple choice | 1 |
Year 8 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.
Diagnostic first, then questions written in the shape this course uses. Written answers come back marked against the bands, not just scored.
