Based on the Crime Scene Kitchen reality TV series where bakers must decide what type of dessert was made using just the crumbs and a few elusive clues, this worksheet engages student understanding of ingredients in the episodes. Students are given a link to the Season 1 Episode 1 video on YouTube and a range of questions that are answered throughout the episode. This is a great task to leave for a casual/relief/teacher absentee lesson or end of term/end of year activity as it can be used for any episode and any season of the TV series. Students are required to identify the clues left for the competitors, how the competitors determine the dessert they should make based on the clues, the criteria the judges are judging the dessert on and which clues were red herrings designed to test and distract the competitors. There is an extended response question on the challenges faced by competitors that can be used for more advanced students or as an extension task. The final activity gives students a list of clues to help them detect the mystery desserts. Answers are provided for this final activity.

It includes items such as: dressing making scissors tape measure dressmaker’s pencil pins spools of thread hand sewing needles universal sewing machine needles, and much more!

The first introductory project is a Zippered Box Pouch which has students measuring out their pattern template onto paper or pattern drafting material before covering the basic skills of pinning & cutting fabric, inserting a zipper, using a zipper foot, adding tabs for keyrings, straight and zigzag stitching, boxing corners and using a lining fabric. This project allows students to use any patterned outer fabric which is perfect for keeping track of who owns which sewing kit! The second introductory project is a matching wrist pin cushion that allows students to keep track of their pins while sewing their projects so they don’t end up all over the floor or around the sewing machine, thus eliminating the WHS issue of pins lost all around the room. This project overs basic skills such as drawing their pattern template (a simple rectangle!), pinning & cutting fabric, straight stitching, turning through, measuring & marking fabric, filling a pin cushion, hand stitching and sewing on velcro. Both projects include step by step instructions and photos to allow those more advanced students to move ahead more quickly!
