Open steak sandwich's and Rice paper spring rolls

                                 Open steak sandwich's

 Ingredients: 

Steak, Bread roll, lettuce, tomato, cheese, sauce. 

How we made it: 

We cut every thing up (diced the vegetables) and sliced the steak we then we soaked the state in a dressing and cooked it. We then put it inside the bun and added the vegetables.

Rate: 

Personally I can't rate it as I didn't try it, but I don't like steak however it might have been really good for people who do eat steak.

Opinions: 

Once again I can't really give a proper opinion on this sandwich because I didn't try it :)

                    Rice paper spring rolls 

Ingredients: 

Rice paper, cucumber, carrot, red capsicum, noodles.

How we made it: 

We cut every thing up (diced the vegetables), next we soaked the rice paper in some warm water (only for like 10 seconds) we then added everything into the rice paper roll and folded it.

Rate: 

Personally I didn't wanna try it after everyone wasn't really liking it, it kinda just put me off even wanting to try it. However the rice paper didn't smell very and the texture of the rice paper was rubbery and disgusting. The noodles didn't feel like a very nice texture either.

Opinions: 

I feel like if I was to ever do this again I would add something more to it such as chicken, a different sauce, etc.

Potato Frittata

                           Potato frittata

We made a potato frittata. The ingredients we used were, Potato, onion, salt, pepper, cheese, peas, corn.

 Sight: It didn't look very appealing to me if i'm honest.

Smell: It smelt just like egg

Taste:  I feel like we shouldn't have used that much egg because it just tasted like an omelet.

 I rate this dish a 2/10 - could have been a lot better, to me this wasn't really a potato bake/frittata.

We could improve this by not adding as much egg.

Our team worked well together, we all had equal turns with every thing.

Art - reflection

Reflection

My main subject matter is a movie theater and nature. My photomontage is ahead and not portrait. We can  identify there is a movie theater screen, vines, butterflies, trees and more nature related surroundings. I think my photo montage is varied with things that I have added to my montage. I have enlarged some of the things in my photo montage such as the butterflies, and the vines to fit along the curtains.

My photo-montage is a flat space, it is very simple. It is more landscape, I feel like since my photo-montage is so simple people can see everything clearly and the colorful colors catch their eyes. My focal points are the colorful butterflies, and just the nature setting in a movie theater.I want the viewer’s reaction to be shocked or surprised because it's like what was on the movie theater screen is coming into the actual theater. I have added nature and a movie theater to give the effect as if it is coming into the theater.

My subject matter is separate but also together at the same time, for example: the butterflies are separated but the vines are over the curtains and the forest is over the movie theater screen.I think I work more in color than I do black and white. Color in a picture can change the whole mood and depending on the color can decide how you want the viewer to feel while looking at it.

My leading line is a movie theater. I have definitely repeated parts in my photo-montage, such as there are multiple butterflies all over the screen.It can change the way somebody views the photomontage or any other artwork.I have added nature to my main photo fragment, I have added a forest, vines, and butterflies. I feel like this makes it more realistic.

I have used quite a dark background and then added more colors over top so then objects I have added stand out a lot better. Maybe but I think every part of the photomontage is important. The idea I wanted to come out of this was, some things can be so realistic.There are butterflies flying all around the theater and on the movie screen.

There are vines growing along the curtains and a forest on the screen. I added butterflies to give more of a colorful effect.Yes , the main idea of photo montage is to add photos or images that don’t usually go together and turning them into something new. Yes, that is very important when using photomontage. Maybe that nature is beautiful. Life is a movie.

Mac and cheese - Home economics

                            Mac & cheese

Ingredients:  Macaroni, milk, cheese, corn flower, bread crumbs, onion, tomato, salt.

Skill: Roux sauce. Roux is flour and fat cooked together and used to thicken sauces. Our cheese sauce wasn't very good at all, I don't think there is anything we could have done, it was just the type of sauce.

Evaluation: 

• Smell: It smelt alright at first it smelt cheesy.
• Looks: It looked good and edible. 
• Taste: It tasted quite off, like off milk, but that might just be me. I feel like we could have used a different recipe next time.

Rate: I would give it a 3/10, it just wasn't very good in my opinion.

What could we do differently: Use a different recipe that is more common and not use corn flour, use normal flour. Not add tomato to it.

How did the team work together: I think our team worked fine together and there were no problems while cooking/working together.

This isn't our image but one that looks similar :)

This week we had to pick a random house hold/random items and see what they could be used at here is my item:

Black death

Black death
P1) The black death is thought to have originated in Asia but then traveled to Europe in 1347. Traders in the Crimea
have been besieged for three years by Tartar hordes from Central Asia. The Black Death then spreads and goes
among the Tartars. The Tartars used their siege machines to fling the dead inside the walls of the fort. The Black
death then spreads to the people inside of the fort, after this happens the Tartars flee. The survivors that were
inside the fort set sail for Europe bringing the disease with them. People knew they had it when :

   Bubonic plague:

            Situated in the groin, armpit or neck
  About the size of a chicken egg
Tender and firm to the touch

Other bubonic plague signs and symptoms may include:

• Sudden onset of fever and chills
• Headache
• Fatigue or malaise
• Muscle aches

Septicemic plague

• Fever and chills
• Extreme weakness
• Abdominal pain, diarrhea and vomiting
• Bleeding from your mouth, nose or rectum, or under your skin
• Shock
• Blackening and death of tissue (gangrene) in your extremities, most commonly your fingers, toes & nose

Pneumonic plague:

• Cough, with bloody mucus (sputum)
• Difficulty breathing
• Nausea and vomiting
• High fever
• Headache
• Weakness
• Chest pain

P2) Cures for the black death: This tells us that living conditions weren't the best back then, there was none if any very little personal higene. People not having good higene made it easier for them to catch the plague as nothing was clean.

They tried curing the black death by: Rubbing onions, herbs or a chopped up snake (if available) on the boils or cutting up a pigeon and rubbing it over an infected body. Drinking vinegar, eating crushed minerals, arsenic, mercury, bathe in urine, blood letting, flagellation or even ten-year-old treacle! Most of this was effective however some of it was a waste of time and wasn't as effected.

P3) Plague doctor: The plague doctor was a doctor who checked people for the  

Summery - How does your brain respond to pain

What is pain? Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage. 

Summery: People feel pain in many different ways. When people feel pain sometimes it helps them work better and some people don't work better with pain. Some people can send their mind to wondering to distract them self from pain. People can experience the same pain yet react so differently towards it. Pain has an intercity, you could describe it on a scale from 0- nothing to 10- the worst pain imaginable. When you get hurt special nerve sells called nociceptors send signals to the spinal cord and then to the brain and processing work get done by sells called neurons and glia.

Chaos - Slam dunk

                        Slam dunk

Here's my paragraph:

What was life like in the middle ages ? Interestingly, the person's wealth was how
they were treated. For example: The king got the best treatment, and poor people got
treated the worst. Kings and queens had loads of food to eat, and got the privilege to
shower everyday. The poor, lived on farms, did not get enough food, and hardly got to
have a shower. 

This was important because this shows how poorly they were treated. 

Everyone was not treated equally.

            This week we looked at creating art out of different images. I put together my piece of art :

Chemicals

Intro: This week we are focusing on particle theory - all around particle movement - and diffusion.

Aim: Investigate if particles defuse faster in hot or cold water.

Hypothesis: I think particles will defuse faster in hot water because they move faster when heated.

Results: The warmer one did in fact defuse faster than the cold water.

Conclusion: In conclusion my hypothesis was right and it the hot water
