Static and current electricity.

 Today I have to do a blog about work I have been doing in science. We are learning about static electricity and current electricity the first thing we had to do was watch a video explaining what the things mean and explaining how to use them then we had to answer some questions about the work we had done 

Banana and Chocolate chip muffins

 Today I have to do a blog about the cooking at the home task we had to choose a recipe and then you had to make it at home.  This is the recipe out of the Edmonds Cook Book.

Banana Muffins

50g butter softened

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 egg

3/4 cup wholemeal flour

3/4 cup plain flour

1 tsp baking powder

pinch salt

1/2 tsp baking soda

3/4 cup milk

Cream butter and sugar in a bowl.  Beat in egg. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together. Dissolve soda in the milk. Add sifted ingredients alternately with soda to the creamed mixture, mixing just to combine. Spoon mixture into greased muffin tins. Bake at 200C for 12 to 15 minutes. Add mashed banana after sifted ingredients. 

I didn't use wholemeal flour so I just put in extra self-raising flour.  Because I used self-raising flour I didn't need to use baking powder.  I also added some grated chocolate to the mixture.  

The muffins when cooked were soft and tasted good.  The whole family enjoyed them.

Pita pockets

 Today we have to do a blog about the food we made in cooking we made Pita pockets we had chopped vegetables in them and some ham in there the people that were in my group were Hunter me and two other girls.

Ingredients:

Method:

1. Sauté the onions together in a pan with oil, high-med heat

2. Chop and grate the vegetables you require

3. Place pita pockets in the microwave for 20 seconds

4. Cut open the pita pocket along the crease

My Home Economics Work

 Today I have to make a blog about the work I have been doing in Home Economics. We had to create a product that we wanted to make for someone. We had to think of a person that we wanted to make the food for my stakeholder was Mr Reizinger, we also had to make a shopping list of all the ingredients that we needed. Then we had to make a time management plan we had to list how long it will take us to do each thing, we also had to put the costings in of how much money it will cost for each thing. We found the costings for the ingredients on the Countdown website.

This is the feedback on the food that I made for my stakeholder. It had a great fluffy consistency and was not dry. There was a good amount of cheese flavour. My one recommendation would be to add either some bacon bits or sweet chilli for extra flavour. I think that my group did well when we made the product because we worked together very well with my partner. Here is the original recipe Original Recipe

Imploding Can

 Aim:  Today I have to do a blog about the experiment that we did in science what we looked for was what would happen when you put a hot can in cold water 

Equipment: the equipment that I used was a bunsen burner, a can, water, gas, scissor tongs.

Method: the first thing that we had to get all of the things we had to get the bunsen burner out and connect it to the gas then lite it and put some water in. We held the can over the flame and it started to boil we then put it in the water. what happened was the can got very hot then it started to boil and steam came out and we put the can upside down and the can shrink.

Conclusion:  The can shrink because the can was full of steam and then it touched the cold water and the steam inside the can and the steam condesed
