French
We recommend students complete 2 tasks from each skill and also watch a French movie or TV series on Netflix over the summer.
Food
To prepare for the Eduqas Level 3 Food Science and Nutrition Diploma, you will need to focus on building foundational knowledge. This includes understanding key concepts like macronutrients, micronutrients, and food safety principles, as well as preparing for practical skills in the kitchen like planning, preparing, and evaluating dishes.
To help build your foundational knowledge, please consider investigating the following:
- Nutrients:
Review the main macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, fats) and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals). Pay attention to fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins, as well as key minerals like calcium, iron, and zinc. - Food Safety:
Understand the principles of food safety, including how to prevent foodborne illness, proper storage, and hygiene practices.
To help you gain a better understanding you can use online resources such as BBC Bitesize and NHS website. The course textbook that it recommended is the WJEC Certificate in Food Science & Nutrition by Anita Tull & Jillian Bryant, Illuminate Publishing.
