Food Packaging and The Environment
As most people don’t have a farm or food processing plant in their back yard, there needs to be a way to get food from its point of production to the people who eat it. In many cases disposable food packaging is a key component that helps this happen. While this disposable packaging performs many useful functions, such as containing, protecting, and preserving food, it also has a downside in its impacts on the environment.

Food Testing: Working with Yeast
Food testing is a key part of most food technology courses. In this concise program, with the aid of teachers and students at one of Melbourne’s leading high schools, we look at yeast its biology, its history, and the necessary conditions for its growth. Varying contents are used in six test tubes to show why only one of them will inflate a balloon. We also demonstrate the effect of using dried and compressed yeast in the making of bread rolls in a real-life school laboratory environment. Students are also shown how to write up the result of the tests.

The Future Starts Here: The Future of Work and You
The one thing we do know about work in the future is that it’s going to be radically different. We can expect to change jobs, careers and even countries more often. We may well work from home on a contract basis, we probably won’t have a desk to call our own, we’ll communicate more through video conferencing, we’ll work more in teams more rather than individually, we’ll be very unlikely to work in manufacturing which will be mostly off-shore, work will be more family-friendly and people who are flexible and creative problem solvers will probably have the world at their feet. A great program for those preparing for a new age of work.
