Expansion and contraction

Today in chemistry class we were looking at four different actions to do with matter, Expansion, contraction, Convection, and conduction, We then had to choose one of them and create an animation explaining what the action is. I partnered up with my mate and we did animation on expansion and contraction.

The Valdivia Earthquake!

During today's chaos lesson we were looking at tsunamis and were trying to get the movie "The impossible" to work but after failing multiple times we retreated back to the independent tasks matrix. I and my partner decided to work on the Earthquake section. For the section, we choose one of the biggest earthquakes recorded, the Valdivia earthquake, and made a poster on the destruction of the earthquake. Here is my poster.

Chicken Stir fry

Today's practical lesson we were making chicken stir-fry. My team worked really well for this practical and we got the dish made surprisingly quickly. The end result was delicious and it had a very strong salty flavor. Altogether it was a really fun practical and next time I would go sparingly on the sauces.

2 tablespoons of honey
2 tablespoons sesame sauce
Any vegetable
2-minute noodles

Saute the onions.
Add the chicken and cook until lightly browned
Add the vegetables and sauce.
cook for 5-6 minutes or until vegetables is cooked.

Potato Fritters!

For this weeks practical lesson we made potato fritters! During this lesson i was put in a different team so i wasn't used to working with the team i was in, and there wasn't much communication between our leader and the rest of the team. In the end we got the meal finished but i had to leave early so i didn't get to taste what we had cooked, but from what i heard from my team it was delicious even though the eggs ended up in a more scrambled state. Overall this wasn't my favourite practical lesson but it was still a lot of fun.

Apple Crumble - Cooking

For this week's practical lesson we made apple crumble! During this lesson, I and one of my teammates decided to share the role of leader and split the recipe into 3 parts, Making the crumble, cutting the apple, and then splitting the mixture into four even proportions and cooking them in the oven. The ingredients used in this dish were 1/2 cup of flour, 1/2 a tsp of cinnamon, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 75g of cold butter, 3/4 of rolled oats, 2-3 medium sized apples, 1 dessert spoon of white sugar, and 1 Tbsp of water.  The end result was delicious! Although the apples could have been better if they had stayed in the oven for longer, but we were on a time crunch so we decided to take the dishes out. Overall my team worked really well and the food was awesome and we were out of class on time, although it ended up very sweet so if i were to make this next time i would leave out the extra white sugar in the ingredients.

Making Nachos!!

Today was a practical day in cooking class! This lesson we were making vegetarian nachos. Our ingredients consisted of 2-4 nachos, 1 grated carrot, half an onion, 1/2 can of chili beans, 1/2 a can of tomatoes, a handful of nacho chips, a sprinkle of cheese, and sour cream /optional. The food was delicious and had the right amount of spice to it, and the corn chips added a cool texture to the mixture. Overall our team worked really well and got our food finished and had our kitchen cleaned quickly!
