Taste Testing

 Taste Testing

Hola readers,

This week we are taste testing so see how well are taste bud works. We are spending 2 peirods on taste testing one is writing the blog and the other is tasting the foods and adding to the blog.

Aim:

I want to find out how well are tastebuds work.

Research:

The 5 main flavors are:

Sweet, Sour, Salty, Bitter, Savory

We have bitter tastbud on the back of our tongue and sour tastebuds on the sides of our tongue.

Method:

Equipment:

• Unknow food
• Blind fold
• A taster with a tongue

Instructions:

1. get equipment
2. put blind fold on
3. hold your nose shut
4. put the food in your mouth and taste
5. Describe how it taste
6. Release your nose and descride the taste

Results:

Food#1

it was crunchy and wet and tasted sweet

I think it was apple

food#2

Was round and bitter and i got the flavor stright away

I think it was

food #3 

it was wet and it didn't taste like anything but it was crunchy

I think is a potato

food #4

It felt like a lolie and it had sugar and it felt like half of and apple

i think it was a sweet orange lollie

food #5 

i felt like it had sugar on it and it felt buppy but it was sour

so i say it was a sour lollie

Powder #1

It looked like sugar 

so i say it was sugar

Powder#2

it looked looked powdery and it looked like tablet salt

so I say table salt

powder #3

I looked super powdery so I thought it was icing sugar

But it was baking soda

Powder#4

I looked like malic acid and it was

powder#5

I didn't really know what it was 

it was a mix of all the powders that we had

Conclusion:

Our Teacher said that the last one was all the powders mixed together and that the baking soda and the malic acid where mixing together and made a bad version of sherdit and it foamed up in our mouth. 

I have better taste when im not blocking my nose but i can still taste the main flavors even tho i have my nose blocked. 

Discussion:

My bitter tastebuds at the back of my tongue reacted as soon as I swollowed the baking soda to that connects to my past research.

Bye thanks for reading

Book Review

 Book Review

Hola readers.

This is going to be a blog about a book that me and my class read all to gether as a class.

1. What is the name of the book we have read as a class and who wrote it?

          The book is named holes and it was created by Louis Sachar.

      2. What was the book about?

        

           It was about this kid who was acused of stealling and got sent to camp green lake as a punishment               of stealling and was made to dig hole in the hot waste land

       3. Who was your favorite character and why?

           I would say Zero because he stays quite and doesn't talk till he tryes to make his escape. He also                 confices to stealing the shoes and then apogices for everything.

        4. Did you enjoy the book? Why?

            I would say that I kind of liked it because i got a bit confuese because I had watch the movie first                and the book was a bit diffeerent from the movie so it was a bit weird.

         5. What were the similarities and differences between the book and the movie? (Write one thing that                 was the same and some thing the was different)

    

            The charaters names and the layout of the camp were the same. But the differents was how the                    shoes landing in stanlys hands in the book thay fell off a car and in the movie they were tossed of                the bridge and hit stanly in the head.

         6. Did you enjoy the movie and why? 

             I really enjoyed the movie because it gave me the real idea of the story.

 

          7. would you recommed the book? who to?

               I would only recommed the book to people who are in to stories like holes.

Thank you for Reading bye

term 2 reflection

Reflection 

Hola Readers,

This blog post is my term 2 reflection. It reflects what happen last term and what I thought about the classes I had. 

Art: 

art was a bit boring until I finshed my work and I got to make pokemon out of clay. For our progict we had to make a stopmotion with clay characters  had a little help from rye when i was making it, it does look a bit weird because someone had destoryed our clay creation.

Deigital teach:

It was so fun when we were aloud to play games, but the work that we had to do was super fun. we had to use PIXEL ART whitch was fun when we had to make stopmotion. If the stopmoiton had about 100 pages we got a mashmalow. we got to use vr headsets to look at our games that we made and we got to use our phones to watch vr youtube videos just so that we got to play around on the head sets.

PE:

PE would be my favorite by far. we got to play hockey and volleyball, I really like hockey a lot more than most sports because it includes running, rules to keep people safe and lots of people can join. we also got to play football/soccor, netball and basketball. 

Drama:

Drama was really fun because got to make our own play. Me and my friends made a wedding sence and a court sence. Sometimes we had to practice a play from a book that we were given we even recorded our practice but it got ruined with someone walking in on our play. 

I will be doing a reflection blog post each term. They will mostly be about what classes I had that term. I would normal think that PE wouldn't be one of my favorites but it is. 

Thank you for reading my blog post

Stop Motion

   Stop Motion 

Hola readers,

This term I have art as one of my subjects I don't really like it, It isn't really fun at school but it is really fun when you have nothing you have to get done. I love working with clay and making pokemon. This blog post is going to be about stop motion that we made by hand. I partnerd up with my friend named rye to make the stop motion. The stop motion it right down there🔻

The stop motion was about two Among Us charatars landing on a planet and looking at a crystal rock and then they fly away in there space ship. It was really fun to do making each clip was super fun but a bit hard to do.

I hope you liked my blog post and I would like to know what was your favourite thing about it?

Bye for now.

Reflections

 Reflections

Hola readers,

Today I am doing a reflection blog. The reflection blog post is so that I can reflect on what happened at school last term. There were lots proplems and lots of happy moments to.

Proplems:

A lot of drama went down with my friend group and an other friend group. a lot of hate went around my class. 

I was in a class I really didn't like and I got really stressed over it and confused. I was in a group that I really hated then I got a group change and then everyone got a group change that would happen ever week.  

Fun and Good Things that happened:

I met knew people named Bronte and Taylor. I got to do experiment in sience that i would never ever do outside the sience class.

Me and my Friend stayed together even if we had a little fight. I'm still in the same friend group as last year and we still play volleyball like last year.

There are lots of proplems that are still happening but we are trying to fix but our friend group still has a strong friend ship connection.  

Thank you for reading my blog post
