Lesson Plan: Exploring Bread

Subject: Food Technology

Year Level: 2

Duration: 30 Minutes

Topic: Bread

Lesson Objectives

By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:

• Understand what bread is and how it is made.
• Identify different types of bread.
• Participate in a simple bread-making activity.

Materials Needed

• Whiteboard and markers
• Pictures of different types of bread (e.g., white, wholemeal, multigrain, sourdough)
• Ingredients for simple bread making (flour, water, yeast, salt)
• Mixing bowl and spoon
• Baking tray and oven (to be handled by teacher/adult)
• Hand wipes and paper towels

Introduction (5 Minutes)

Begin the lesson by discussing the importance of bread in our diet. Ask the students the following questions:

• Who here likes bread?
• What kinds of bread do you eat?
• Where does bread come from?

Introduce the topic with a brief explanation that bread is made from flour and is a staple food in many cultures around the world.

Discussion on Types of Bread (10 Minutes)

1. Types of Bread
   Show pictures of different kinds of bread and explain their differences. Discuss:

   • White Bread: Made from refined flour
   • Wholemeal Bread: Made from whole grain flour
   • Multigrain Bread: Contains different grains
   • Sourdough: Made with a fermented dough

2. Where Bread Comes From
   Briefly explain how flour is made from grains and how yeast helps bread rise.

Interactive Activity: Making Simple Bread (10 Minutes)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Mixing Ingredients

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of yeast.
   • Gradually add water until the mixture forms a dough.

2. Kneading

   • Have the students take turns kneading the dough for about 5 minutes. Explain that kneading helps develop gluten, which makes bread soft.

3. Shaping

   • After kneading, shape the dough into a loaf form and place on a baking tray.

Note:
The actual baking should be done by a teacher or an adult; discuss safety around ovens and cooking.

Conclusion and Tasting (5 Minutes)

• Once the bread is baked (or if pre-baked bread is available), allow the students to taste pieces of the different types of bread discussed.
• Engage them in a group discussion:
  • Which type of bread did they like best?
  • What did they learn about making bread?

Assessment

• Observe students' participation and understanding throughout the activity.
• A simple reflection question for students to answer at the end of the lesson: "What was your favourite part of learning about bread today?"

Additional Notes

• Keep allergies in mind and provide alternative bread options if needed.
• Encourage feedback on what other foods students might want to learn about in future lessons.
