The Science Of Baking

For kete this term Caila and I have been learning about the science of baking and it was a very complicated task. We needed to find out what would happen if we were to change a recipe by one thing.

First we changed the cookies recipe by doing a white vs brown sugar. it didn't make that much of a difference except that the brown sugar spread the more than the white. The brown sugar also dissolved in the butter.

For the cakes we decided to do 3/4 cup water vs 3/4 cup milk. The cake with the water was more moist than the one with the milk and it would also rise more then the milk if you were to lightly touch it.

In the end we found out that you need to be precise with your ingredients because if you aren't then you might end up with a clump of dough.

Maths Circumference

This week we have been learning about circumference and the area of a circle. we have also learnt about Pi. Pi is the circumference of any circle divided by its diameter. The number Pi, denoted by the Greek letter π - pronounced 'pie', is one of the most common constants in all of maths. It is the circumference of any circle, divided by its diameter. 3.14 is the number that never repeats but never ends. Here are some of the basics that you will need to know.
Pi is written like this:(π)
Pi is always 3.14
Circumference: C
Area: A
Diameter: D
Radius: R

Fun With Fractions

Fractions are a important thing if you want a job that has to do with cutting or ordering. I learnt how to understand addition and subtraction of fractions and I had an amazing time doing it. When you first look at it you might think that  it would be hard but it is really easy. Would you want to learn how to do this?
