Business and Enterprise Day

 For the last few weeks we have been working on activities and businesses for our market day at Hornby High School.

It is on the 23rd of September and anyone can attend.

My group is running a game where you throw a tennis ball into buckets and the further back you stand the more points you will get, and the more points you get the better prizes you shall receive. 

Our prizes are lollies and lollipops!

The members in my group are, Cody, Tane and Roberto.

I am excited to see what all the other groups have created and attend some games.

A challenge for our group was not getting distracted and keeping on task, but in the end we have all completed our game 

We have shown our CARR values by being resilient when we make a mistake and keep on going no matter what.

In conclusion I can't wait for the market day and hope we see you there!

Home Economics: Apple Crumble

Hello, this week in home economics we made Apple Crumble

 The members of my group were TJ, Kaleb and Cruz

Recipe

1/2 c Flour

Final outcome.

1/2 c Brown Sugar (not packed)

75 g cold butter (cut into small cubes)

3/4 c Rolled Oats (Wholegrain Oats)

2 - 3 Medium sized Apples (cooking apples e.g. Granny Smith work well)

1/2 - 3/4 t Cinnamon

1 D White Sugar

1 T Water

Method

* Pre heat oven to 170C (use Fan bake or Fan forced if you can).

Before being cooked in the oven.

1. Put flour, cinnamon and brown sugar into a medium bowl.

2. Rub butter lightly into the flour mixture.

3. Add rolled oats and mix with a fork.

4. Peel and quarter the apples. Cut core out and slice each quarter into thin slices.

5. Divide evenly and place into 2 greased pie dishes.

6. Sprinkle with white sugar and water.

7. Spoon this mixture evenly over the apples to cover them.

8. Bake on Fan bake for 10 - 15 min or until edge is going brown.

                    

Our team worked very well together as we all split the work up and got things done. 

Our apple crumble was a very good mixture of soft and crunchiness that it crumbled in your mouth and you could taste the very sweet cinnamon. With the ice cream added onto the top it was a very nice mix of hot and cold.

This time we followed the recipe very well and made sure we made no mistakes.

Thank you for reading.

Energy

Energy

Definition: Stored in an object, the ability to move something.


Different kinds of energy: 
Light energy, the energy of electromagnetic waves. 
Examples, microwaves, x-rays, visible light and colors.

Heat energy, caused by the movement of particles. 
Found in all hot objects, fuels such as gasoline and a hot cup of steaming cocoa. 

Sound energy, energy produced by vibrating objects. 
Examples are speech, ultrasound,  and music.

Chemical potential energy, stored in the bonds between particles. Found in substances like petrol and food.

Electrical energy, the movement of electrically charge particles. Found in wires, generators and lighting.

Gravitational potential energy, stored in objects due to their height above the ground. 
Examples are the force that holds the gases in the sun, the force that causes a rock to roll down a hill.

Kinetic energy, caused by the motion of an object. 
Eg. Moving, cars, running, swimming.

Elastic Potential energy, stored in stretched or squashed objects. Examples are springs and rubber bands.

Bunsen Burner

Aim: To correctly light a Bunsen burner.

Equipment: Bunsen burner, heatproof mat, matches.

Method:
1. Place the heatproof mat on your workbench
2. Connect the Bunsen burner to the gas outlet
3. Turn the collar so that the air hole is closed
4. Light a match and hold it 2-3 cm  above the nozzle of the Bunsen Burner.
5. Turn the gas on at the top.

The color of the flame was a bright orange.
It didn't produce any noise.
It produced a little bit of smoke.

The flame was a light blue.
It didn't produce any noise.
It didn't produce any smoke.
The orange flame is much more visible than the blue flame.
It is safer left alone when closed because then its much more noticeable so people will be cautious around it.
