Maths DLO

In maths we have been learning a few different things. We had to do a DLO on what we have done. We had to explane how to work it out and also show an example. Here is the slide show.

Performing arts

 In Drama we have been learning about different types of performing arts. Performing arts is something that you do by yourself or with a group. Performing arts comes in different forms. Here are some examples, Clowning, Slam Poetry, Musicals, and Opera. Performing arts comes as music, drama, or dance.

Yeast

In science we are learning about yeast. Here are some things about yeast.

Yeast is a type of fungi that is microscopic. It is shaped like an egg. Yeast has also been used for hundreds of years. Yeast has to be woken up from a hybornation state. Yeast is all around us, and it isn't just in a packet. When you make bread the yeast eats the sugar that then preduces gases that then expands the bread.

Ginger beer. Aim: To look at how yeast is used in foods.

Equipment:

Spoons

Kettle

Bowl

Beaker

Cloth Sieve

Funnel

Plastic (PET) bottle and cap

Materials

Bug (For a group of 3)

50ml warm water

1/2 tsp active dried yeast

1/2 tsp sugar

1/2 tsp ground ginger

Ginger Beer (For 1 litre)

3/4 cup sugar

1/2 tsp cream of tartar

1L cold water

Juice of 1/2 lemon

1 tsp ginger beer bug

Method

1. In a large bowl, put the sugar and cream of tartar, then add the warm water.

2. Stir to dissolve the sugar before adding the cold water.

3. Add the ginger beer bug to the large bowl of cold water.

4. Stir well and then pour into your clean bottle.

5. Label your bottle with your group names.

6. Place all the bottles in the class container.

7. Store in a cool, dark place for one week before drinking.

8. Make sure you open the bottle in the kitchen sink as it might overflow. Open the cap a bit by bit to allow the air to escape.

The ginger beer must be drunk over the 6 days.

Research about chilii and Chilli tasting.

In science we will be tasting chillies. Before we taste them we will be doing some research about them. Here is some things about chillies.

The thing that makes chillies hot is a chemical called capsaicin. Here are 3 different types of chillies.

Jalapeno

Chilli pepper

Bell pepper

The top 6 hottest peppers and where they are grown is: Carolina Reaper and it is grown in FORT MILL, S.C., Trinidad Moruga Scorpian and it is grown in Moruga, Trinidad and Tobago, 7 Pot Douglah and it is grown in Trinidad, 7 Pot Primo and it is grown in UL Lafayette, Trinidad Scorpian "Butch T" and it is grown in Texas, Arizona, Florida, and all hot areas, and last is the Naga Viper which is gorwn in England.

The scoville heat scale is something that shows the heat or spiciness of a pepper. Here is a picture.

 My hypothesis is that the milk would probably work the best out of the three.

The three things we will be using to stop the heat will be Milk, Water, and Coca Cola.

The Equipment we will be using is, Milk, Water, Coca Cola, Tasting cup, and chilli.

The results: Milk had a small effect but it worked mostly straight away and if it didn't it would take the tast away after 3 minutes, CocaCola also had a small effect where it would either weaken or take away the taste and after 3 minutes it would take the taste away, The water didn't do anything and it just made it worse and after 3 minutes it took the taste away slightly.

Milk could be a solution when eating spicy foods - litterally. Tha'ts because milk helps your mouth handle capsicin, an oily compound in chilli peppers. Capsacin binds to a receptor in the tongue and creates a burning sensation. Casein protein found in milk can also bind to the capsacin and wash it away.
