Healthy Meal

 Hello everyone, 

For this week, we are working on healthy meals for health. Our task is to add foods on the slide with the description and the ingredients, Cate and I worked together on the slide. We haven't finished it so we are just going to post the ones that are done.

Eating everyday is good for your health, even if you are trying to lose weight, you need to eat food because it gives you energy. Protein, carbs, grains, dairy, fat and vegetables & fruits are important.

Maori Myths and Legends

Hello everyone,

Lask week for hurumanu 1, we discussed about Maori Myths and Legends. We already started on the activities.

Here is my work:

The poster of Capturing Tamanuitera is not real, please don't dial the number!

Thank you for reading, I hope you have learnt something new about Maui.

Making Sherbet

 Aim: 

I want to find out how to make a good sherbet

Research:

Method:

Equipment:

• Citric Acid
• Raro (Any flavour)
• Baking Soda
• A cup
• A stick
• A piece of paper

Instruction

1. Get all of your equipment ready.
2. Pour some of the dry ingredients on the paper, make sure it's all separated.
3. Scoop a little bit of baking soda using your stick and put it in your cup.
4. Scoop a little bit of Citric acid and add it to the cup.
5. Scoop a little bit of Raro and add it to the cup, for some flavour. 
6. Blend the dry ingredients on the cup.
7. Wet your stick and dip it on the sherbet, if you feel like it doesn't have that much foam, add more baking soda, but if it doesn't have that much flavour, add raro. If its not sour enough, add more citric acid.

Results:

Honestly, it tasted good for me. It's because I like sour foods and I liked the sherbet I made. Once it touched my tongue, it started fizzing.

Discussion:

Why is Citric acid really sour?

Originally, Citric acid is made out of derived lemon juice, lemon juice is also sour. 

Why did it foam?

Once sherbet touches water, it starts foaming and fizzing. The reason why it foams is because, Citric acid is a sort of acid that is made out of lemon. Once you mix citric acid and baking soda and pour water on it, some atoms combine into carbon dioxide.

P.E Gymnastics

Hello everyone,

Last week on PE we have been learning about gymnastics. Our task was to blog about the Takaporepore that we have on PE. It's basically a checklist on what we have done on gymnastics. I don't know that much things on gymnastics. 

I didn't do that much gymnastics last week because I weren't there on Wednesday, which we have P.E on period 5. Instead, I have ESOL.

Gymnastics is fun for me, because I can see people doing some amazing flips and balance, the best part was probably the parallel bars, I was still having some troubles.

Here is a link for my Takaporepore

The ones highlighted on red means that I am still learning on it, the yellow highlighted ones are the ones I can do. If they are already ticked, it means that I have tried it and did it successfully.

Thank you for reading this post, I hope you have learned on what we have been doing on P.E.

Hot Chilli

Aim :

I want to find out the best way to cool down your tongue after eating hot chilli.

Research:

Method:

Equipment:

• Hot Chilli Sauce
• Popsicle Stick
• Drinks - Soda, Water, Milk
• Timer

Instruction

1. Get your equipment ready.
2. Get a drop of hot sauce on your Popsicle stick.
3. Lick the Hot Chilli sauce
4. Start the timer
5. After 2mins
6. After 5mins, how hot is your mouth?
7. Repeat the experiment but with a different drink.

Result:

The first chilli I did was without water and I am scoring it a 7 for burning, although it was the first taste. It was still spicy.

The second chilli I did was with water and I am scoring it a 9 for burning, it was burning so bad.

The third one was hot but I rate it a 5 we also drink coke which lessen the burn.

The forth one was less spicy, because I got used to it. The second one was more spicy I guess. At first the spiciness was about a 8. But as soon I drink the milk, it was less spicy. I rate it as 2.

Discussion:

Why does chilli burn your mouth?

Hot chilli contains capsaicin, capsaicin is a chemical compound. As soon as your tongue touches the hot chilli. Your brain reacts to it. The best one to drink is probably milk, it can help down break down the capsaicin, because it contains casein. Casein is the main protein in milk.
