Safety and Sanitation

For Safety and Sanitation I chose the eggs. This lab went well, we all worked together and tried our best. All the eggs in the group cooked well. A challenge was having everyone cook their egg at the same time, because it is a small space. But it turned out better than we thought. The safety and sanitation concerns for this lab are that we needed to cut they bread with a rather large knife, and we had to make sure that the eggs were cooked so that we weren’t eating raw egg. Having are hands clean is extremely important. To make sure that we were being safe while cutting the bread, we tucked our fingers in to make sure we were being safe while using the knife. We then washed our dishes well to make sure that they were clean for the next group using the appliances. It is important to be clean and while cooking so that no one gets sick or injured. We want to have a good time cooking with no one getting hurt.

Communication

This lab was chocolate chip cookies. It went well because we were all excited to start foods. We went through our recipe step by step so our cookies turned out well. Our group measured everything correctly and we understood what we needed to do. We need communication while cooking so that we can finish what we are trying to make, and finish well. Communication is when a group of people talk together, share ideas, help each other, and working together. Problems that can come during a lab of group member aren’t communicating are getting multiple same ingredients, taking wrong measurements, having the stove not preheated, and not doing the task you were meant to do thinking that your partner is doing it. There are many things that can go wrong. You can solve these problems by checking in with group members, making sure your partner is doing what they are supposed to be doing, and helping out your group members. This photo shows that my group communicated well while making the chocolate cookies because we had the right ingredients, it was the right amount, and they turned out well.

My Favourite Food Experience

My favourite food experience was when my mom and I made sugar cookies. It was near Christmas and when I asked my mom if we could make cookies. She suggested sugar cookies and I agreed. We looked for a recipe online that we liked and we started to make them. They turned out better than I thought. The cookies were sweet but not too sweet, they weren’t dry but they were soft. Everyone enjoyed them so I was happy about that.

Insta-Scientist

I chose Alexander Fleming because he was a physician-scientist and I think that would be an interesting job to have. He had many brilliant discoveries and even discovered penicillin by accident! I chose A_Fleming1928 for his Instagram account because the year 1928 was when he discovered penicillin.

My Digital Footprint

When I search up my name, all that pops up is my Instagram. I am actually surprised that there isn’t anything else. I don’t use many social media platforms, that may be why.  

An example of something that uses cautious sharing of information that is in my digital footprint is my Instagram. My Instagram is set to private, so that only my followers can see my account. I also make sure that I know everyone that follows me. I don’t post anything that could have a negative impact in my life. I don’t share anything personal like passwords.  

 How might your digital footprint affect your family and friends? 

My digital footprint can allow my family and friends to communicate with me through my social media. They can see how I am doing and check in on me. We can chat and send each other things that we like. We can keep in touch with social media. My digital footprint has a good impact towards my family. 

How might your digital footprint your affect job and career prospects? 

People can see that I am close to my family through my social media. They can see that I take social media seriously and am mature. They can see that I don’t fool around with the internet. All that pops up is my Instagram when I search up my name, so it can’t have a negative impact with my future and career prospects.  

The Northwest Rebellion of 1885

Reflection

I knew that my information was reliable because I used a citation machine and I looked at different cites to see if they had the same information. I chose my medium by looking through the different ones that had timelines. I chose canva because it had the most space for paragraphs and looked the neatest in my opinion. It was geared towards my audience because it’s easy to understand and there is a lot of information. I would refine my project in the furture by finding a timeline templated that has seven spots for paragraphs instead of five, so that I can include all seven paragraphs on one page instead of two pages.

Industrial Revolution Project

Reflection

In my project, my innovation was a sewing machine. I was able to identify problems and their solutions. A problem was that the first models were badly advertised, and were not bought by many people. For the solution I wrote that sewing machines were later better advertised and more and more people started to trust them. Another issue was that in the past they costed as much as a car does today. The solution was that as the years passed, they became more common and became cheaper and cheaper.

I didn’t write my project in a backwards design, because for me starting from the past and leading to the future was easier. I have a large imagination so it was easy doing the future part of the project. I feel that I enjoyed it the most. It’s more difficult doing the past paragraph because you have to search for facts from reliable sites. It can be hard to find some good information and put everything in your own words, so I wanted to finish the hardest part and get it done and over with. I identified problems with sewing machines today. Sewing machines are bulky, heavy, and take up space. I bought of an idea of having sewing machines slender, light, but sturdy for the future.

I am satisfied with the design of my project. It has lots of information, neat, and I included pictures to go with the paragraphs. I have headings for every topic and it looks pretty professional. I put lots of effort into this project and it shows just by looking at it. I am satisfied with my solutions, even though the were very hard to find. It was hard to find any solutions and even just finding problems was hard. All the solutions that I found were very general.

I would refine my project in the future by using more sites. It was difficult to find proper sites that were reliable and were specific for my topics. I found many sites that weren’t trustworthy and I couldn’t use them. I spent lots of time, and even asked others to help me find good, proper sites that had genuine information.
