Week 5 work blog

On this day I worked primarily on the recipie packet however I also did some side jobs such as finding information for the recipie infografice, tending to the plants and placing some plants in my teams hydroponic system. The plants that I placed were all tomato plants because those are the most developed and they passed the root test and the two leaf test. I belive that we need to water our plants less because our plants are begining to develop green alge on the dirt. I also worked on adjusting the pH in our system to the right amount so that our tomato plants would be able to grow better.

Notes on mitosis

 

 

The reason why mitosis cells split is because there's a limit to its size and if it grows too big than it can disrupt transportation inside the cell for example it would disrupt the transportation of food, water and oxygen.

Work blog 6

Today I worked hard on finishing up the website more specificly I worked on the about us page as well as the home page. However that's not all I did I also worked on the recipie packet specificly on the time division page because at KCC we lerned different ways to cook cous cous and because of that I thought the changes to the recipie packet were needed. I also adjusted the pH in my system because it was at 4.0 and our wanted amount is 6.1.

Cooking field trip blog

Today we went to Kapiolani community collage and we learned to cook even more different types of dishes those dishes were all part of different cuisines for example the chicken tostadas was a Mexican inspired dish and the chicken Parmesan was a french inspired dish. We also had a trial run for creating polenta which is an Italian dish however we are preparing it as an American dish. I like liked how my group worked together today I also liked how we were each able to finish our tasks with ought making too many mistakes. For example we were all able to communicate and while we were at our specific stations we yelled out what we were doing to each other. Our tasks were divided according to what we are cooking in our final recipe for example liam was cooking the polenta because in our final he is responsible for cooking the polenta.

While I think that we worked really well as a team I think that there were some things we could have improved upon. Some things we could have improved upon was cleaning up while we were cooking. The reason why I think we need to improve upon this was because some group members were standing around doing nothing once there job was done. I was also standing around occasionally. I noticed myself standing around watching Liam cook polenta rather than cleaning up the kitchen which I could have done. I also need to learn to trust my teammates more because I wasn't able to clean because I was constantly afraid that someone was going to burn something or incorrectly follow the recipe.

I plan on improving upon in these causalities by learning to let go and by trusting my teammates more. I think that I need to give my teammates harder jobs and let them work on their own while I also work on my own job. I have noticed myself hanging around and asking them what there doing.

I liked going to KCC and am saddened by knowing that I can't go to KCC and cook there next year.

On the forth day of work I noticed an increase in working through ought the class room I belive that this is largely because of the scoldings we as a class recived from mr. Kaneko and ms.calabro. I am glad to see more people working because the classroom is now a lot quieter and it was easier to consent rate on my work. I worked on the recipe packet yet agen because I need to finish it urgently because I have to turn it in on Friday. We recived a lot of recommendations how're the biggest one was don't forget to add chicken from our consultation with the chefs. They gave us many tips of which sauces to use and how to cook the dish. Another tip they gave us was how to form the polenta and make it round by using flower and egg.

Work blog and reflection

In the begging of the work day we recived a lecture from our teachers mr. Kaneko, and ms.calabro.i belive that this lecture was needed for the whole class because I observed good students begins to slip for example I started seeing liam playing chess during class, Dane watching basketball videos and playing games for half the class, and Nari begining to talk to people more on skype or face time. However I can't point out the faults of others because I began playing games as well. I noticed an overall increase in games around the class however one person I alwayse saw working and on task was kody kimmoto and for those reasons I belive that he's one of the top students in the class even though he might talk to his freinds sometimes however he alwayse finishes the work assigned to him. I belive that there is no hardest working group because I notice everyone in all the groups slip up,however if I had to say who the hardest working group is I would say koala modics because I never saw them playing around during class and there always hard at work.today during class I worked on redoing my recipe packet because I was unable to fully finish in last class.

Semester 2 work day 2 January 14

On the second class meeting I worked on many different things such as fixing up our system to make sure there are no leaks the reason why I need to do this was so our pump for our system wouldn't dry out and potentially cost a lot of money to fix. we have also been working on our group presentation skills which includes being able to talk about our system to strangers who have no knowledge of hydroponics or hydroponic systems. Even though I was able to complete these tasks I primarily focussed on redoing my groups recipe packet because we weren't allowed to make pizza. We weren't allowed to make pizza because there are to many mistakes that could be maid while cooking. Another reason why we had to redo our dish was because it takes too long to make the doe and too long to allow it to sit. We divided to change our dish to polenta which is slightly similar to cous cous with water served with fried vegetables stacked neatly on-top of it.

Cooking field trip both January 14

 

 

 

 

 

The two dishes that I decided to make was the the lemon chicken and couse couse maid with chicken broth. The reason why I chose to make these two dishes was because these were the best tasting dishes in my opinion. I liked these dishes because they were both twists to two common foods that I normally like to cook. I usually make chicken with a little bit of paprika, garlic, onion, salt and peeper however this is a better way to make it. I also choose to make cous cous because after the event it became one of my favorite dishes because I usually maid it with cheese and that was it however after we went to Kapiolani community collages culinary school I learned different ingredients that could enhance the cous cous such as chicken broth. The liquid that I was using for cous cous before chicken broth was water which doesn't taste as delicious as chicken broth.

Although I cooked the cous cous and chicken because they were my favorite I also enjoyed making the miso dressing and I thought it tasted delicious. I also liked the other sauce we maid as well as the salad. I would have cooked those dishes however I couldn't because I didn't have the necessary ingredients to make the side salads or sauces. If I would have maid the lettuce covered with the miso sauce dressing I would have placed the lettuce leaf under the cous cous which would have maid the dish more visually appealing.

I learned many different cooking recipes from Kapiolani community collage and I want to continue learning new recipes. I want to learn many more different cousins which is what they teach at Kapiolani community collage culinary school. I hope that the next time we go to Kapiolani community collage we learn how to cook Mexican cuisine

Congo final humanities

Humanities charity

Today during class for humanities we worked on selecting a charity and sending them a letter asking them questions about there charity. The questions that we asked was what percentage of revenue goes directly towards the Congo, and we also asked them how they use there money to make change. The charity which we are primarily focused on was war child however we couldn't use that charity because it donates to multiple countries. The charity called war child was a charity devoted to helping aid the people of Congo and to also set up emergency relief centers around the country. So after we found out that we couldn't use that charity so we found a different charity. The charity that we found was devoted to helping place water in those places. We believe in this charity because we think that the Congo needs this in order to become a better and more accomplished country. In an email to that organization we wrote the same questions as the email to war child, as well as the question do you serve any other countries other than the Congo because we wanted to make sure that all our profits from the fundraiser goes to the Congo.

 

We believe that this charity is the right choice because the Congo is suffering a lot from malnutrition. Another reason why this charity is a very good idea is because it offers great opportunity for the Congo as well as the people living there by giving them a better chance for survival. In the Congo 1/6 children die from either dirty water or a water related sickness such as diarrhea. Another reason why we think that this charity is a good idea is because you are able to donate directly to the Congo unlike some charities which distribute the money they receive from donations evenly among all the countries.

Stem project work day 1/12/15

Today during stem we worked on creating our project for photosynthesis. Although my partner and I weren't able to create what we wanted to we settled on making a model which involved a white board. However I don't believe that this is the best way to go about on my project. My group wasn't able to complete our project however we did do a lot of work on it. My main job for this project was holding the camera which was surprisingly challenging because I had to hold it in the exact said spot which unfortunately I don't believe I did even though I tried.

The steps that I took in order to take care of the plants was first I had to potting the seeds and then I had to water them. We are growing our seeds right now as a test. Another objective that I worked on today was web design and doing the midway progress for an intake sheet.
