iron chef lab

Ryan Raposo reflection

The food our group prepared were smiley churro bites we put chocolate chips in the dough and I enjoyed making this lab very much because it was something new that I never knew how to make.
I think the three of us were happy making this creation since it is something that we all love and was something we were all interested in making and was very happy we made since I thought it would be a very good idea to make.
The reason we chose the recipe because it was in our time derestriction and was something that looked so yummy to make.
If we were to do this differently I would definitely shape the churros before we dropped them in the hot oil when making the long churro did not work we decided to make it into fun bite sized deserts
It did not effect us at all because overall time to make the whole lab was 20 minutes or so
Something I learnt is to make churros with long sleeves so you don’t get hot oil burn your hand

Chicken prep
Why I chose this lab was because it was defintly something I have never done before and was something that I was quite nervous doing and was glad I chose to do the wing as my cut because it was very fun in the end
I enjoyed this lab lots because it was brand new to me and I think it worked out in the end for me

Yes it turned out how I wanted it to go being my first time cutting the chicken I clipped a little bit of the breast but other then that I think it turned out very well

I think yes it worked out well for our group since it was all something we have never done before
If I was to do this lab again maybe I would switch up the roles and try cutting a different piece of the chicken and after learn how to barbeque it

Another lab we have done that id like to reflect on is the pho we made
I chose to reflect on this because it was my first time making pho and actually knowing how its made
At first I did not enjoy this lab because I thought it looked really gross but after it started looking actually like pho and I got really exited because it looked really good so in the end I really liked it
I thought yes the pho turned out really good because it tasted really good and looked good
I think my group worked really well together since most of the time it was just cooking on the stove
I don’t think I would change this lab at all I thought it was a great learning experience and something new from a new culture that some students have never tried before and it was just a very fun lab to do!

does caffine stunt your growth?

Ryan Raposo

A myth that has been said to me a lot as a kid was coffee was an adult drink not for children and if I drank some it would make me short and not be able to grow. Coffee does not stunt your growth that is all based on your heritage or your genes but coffee can affect your nervous system the average male will grow until he is 18 or his early 20s a woman will stop growing until about 18 years of age. Studies say “Subsequent studies showed that women aged 65 to 77 who drank about 18 ounces of caffeine daily did have greater bone loss over a three-year period than those who didn’t” written by Michael Franco. O’Connor says Focusing exclusively on children, a more recent study tracked 81 teenagers for six years. The result? There was no difference in bone density between the biggest buzz catchers and those who drank the least amount of caffeine. There has been many studies of coffee and if it stunts your growth or not personally I believe coffee will not do anything to your growth that it was just away of telling your kids to stay away from it because if you drink to much it is actually bad for your health you could be sleep deprived and suffer nervous system damage.

there has been tests on caffeine and how it affects your bones caffeine will not stunt your growth but can give woman osteoporosis which means it will just weaken the bones.

so to me the research that I have found coffee does not stunt your growth but can give you health problems if consumed to much

cofee facts

What I know beans can stay fresh for 2-3 months

Question why does coffee give you energy? the caffeine acts as a high to the brain

Things I learnt ideal tempature is 190 to 205 degrees coffee was discovered in 800 b.c when an Ethiopian mans goats were energized after eating from a berry bush

3 things interested in that involves science

1) I am interested in playing xbox which involves electricity and I find that cool how people used science to help them figure out how to work electricity and make a device that can bring joy to people

2 I am interested in basketball and throwing the ball is part of gravity and I find it amazing how Issac Newton figured out how gravity works just by an apple falling on his head and that made him wonder how it happend and why it fell

3 I’m interested in playing sports and you need science to make the rubber on the balls you need chemicals to solidify the rubber which makes it Strechy and I am interested in what materials they use to make it Strechy

Dont  post anything bad on the internet. It will effect your life some how.  You could not be able to get a job cause they will look up your history.

You could loose friends if they dont agree with what you said.
and you could make someone feel bad if its about them,
or even get fired.
You could prevent those things happening to you by thinking what your doing when you post. And  if you do post post stuff . Make sure that it is smart. From this project i learned to post appropriate stuff on the Internet and if i do post something it should be nice and not bad.Thats why you should be cautious on the internet.
