Home Economics Design Process

 Hello, Readers!

In my home economics class, we are making chocolate pikelets for our stakeholder which is my teacher.

The stakeholder my partner and I chose was my form teacher.

Me and my partner created a shopping list so our teacher could buy the food for us. We look up the costings on the countdown website. We made created a time management plan so we could finish our cooking on time.

Mise en place:

We making the chocolate pikelets:

End Product:

This is the recipe we use to make the chocolate pikelets:

Chocolate pikelets

Ingredients

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup low-fat milk

1 egg

3 tablespoons sugar 

1 cup flour

2 tablespoons cocoa powder

2 teaspoons cream of tartar

1 pinch salt

1 tablespoon margarine or 1 tablespoon butter, melted

Toppings

Chocolate syrup

Whipped cream

frozen berries

Method

• In a small bowl, dissolve baking soda in milk, set aside.

• In a large bowl Beat egg and sugar together until thick and pale.

• Sift flour, cocoa, cream of tartar and salt together; Fold the dry ingredients into the beaten egg mixture alternating with adding the milk/baking soda mixture; Last, fold in the melted butter just till combined.

• Heat a greased frying pan and cook 1-2 tablespoonfuls of the pikelet batter until bubbles appear on the surface; Flip the pikelets to cook on the other side for 1 minute or until golden brown.

• We give the chocolate pikelets to our stakeholder and he said it tastes really good. He said that the chocolate sauce and whipped cream tasted really good with the chocolate pikelets.

• I think me and my partner did very well at planning and making the chocolate pikelets for our stakeholder. I like how we communicated with each other as we make the chocolate pikelets.

Heat Transfer

 fuck u Readers

Today in chemistry class we are learning about heat transfer.

Heat transfer is move heat from one place to another.

Conductor of heat can pass on heat from one thing to another. eg warm water, metal

Insulator of heat does not pass of heat. eg oven, styrofoam

Convection is heat transfer without contact.

The experiment we did was we light a tea bag on fire and they burn down and fly up in the air. It was flying because it was hot particles and hot particles are less dense so it goes up. 

When it cool down the paper come back down because cool paticles is more dense so it comes back down.

Teacher should teach high school students about politics and debating because you never know one day the student could become the president. Learning about debating in high school is good because students have their own rule they want to change or add to the country and they will need to know how to debate and persuade the people to do that. Learning about politics is good for high school students.

 English is the most important subject in school. In school, you need English to speak, write and read. You need to know how to write and read because if there's a sign and it says something you will need to read, if you don't know how to read, you won't know what it is saying. The most important subject in school is English.

 Your name is an important part of who you are. Your parent gives you a name so people have a word to call you. Most names have good meanings to them. If you don't have a name, people don't know what to call you when they are speaking to you. You need your name to fill out the form and for your passport. Names are a really important part of who you are.
