This week I learned about in season food. This is what I learned.

Go to http://www.cuesa.org/eat-seasonally/charts to find seasonality Charts. You will research one fruit and one vegetable that is in season during a particular month here in California.   Use the same website to find recipes.

What are three reasons people should buy produce that is in season. Use the video to help you.

1. Food that is not is season does not taste as good as food that is in season
2. In season food does not leave as much of a carbon footprint
3. Food in season is cheaper

Why do people buy food that is not in season? ___________________________________Because they might like how the food tastes and they want it all year round insted of just buying lots of it in the seson that it is good in.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

How does buying in season help everyone? ___Buying in seson helps the air and doesn’t leave as much as a carbon footprint… ______________________________________.

Where are some places you can buy in season food besides the supermarket? If you go to a place that is warmer or colder than CA than you can probably find it there.

S&EP: SP4: Analyzing data

This week I was learning about in season. I made a table to keep my data safe while I worked so nobody could copy or steal my data. I also needed it for this blog. So I kept my data safe in a table.

Food

Food

This week we were working on the food waste project. We were studying food systems, food culture, and, yeah, that's it. For food culture, we studied what we ate for dinner (A grilled cheese and fries), How we ate it (With my hands), where we ate it (Five Guys: burgers and fries restaurant), who we ate it with (My dad, my mom, my sister, and my brother), what we talked about (How disgusting the Oreo Creme milkshake was.), etc. I learned that Food culture represents how special the country it came from is, and that what makes a country's food special is because it is the only food they can get.

This week I used tables and google docs to analyze the data that I got. We were studying food this week and I needed a place to have my data.

Testing

This week we were testing. We were taking the CST (California State Test). I learned that you had to pay attention in class in order to ace the test. All of the questions were based on the test. If you like to pay attention, you probably passed. If you like to talk, not pay attention, not learn, etcetera, then you probably did not pass the test. They were all like IF YOU ARE HOLDING A MINERAL THAT CAN BE SCRATCHED BY A FINGERNAIL, WHICH MINERAL ARE YOU MOST LIKELY HOLDING? and the answers were GYPSUM, GRAPHITE, TOPAZ, and Quartz. They also gave you a mineral identification sheet. It helps to pay attention, because most of the questions were our do now questions. If you were paying attention to the do nows, you would know the answer to every single question. 



S&EP: We were testing and reviewing what we learned this week.

Review

screen-shot-2013-11-17-at-3-09-47-pm.png

This week was all about review. We did zondle, kahoot, and quizizz. On zondle,  I learned more about the food chains and the human body. They gave me a question that was A CONSUMER... and then they had answers like, eats itself when it gets hungry, eats other organisms, and makes its own food. Then we would answer the question correctly. However, when I was doing zondle, I was not paying much attention to what answers I chose. I learned that even though it was fun, I had to pay attention to what answers I chose or they would be wrong and I would have to do them over again. Then, we did quizizz. I learned that time didn't matter. When you were taking a quizizz, it was probably ideal to take your time. I ended up getting first place one time! Then, we did kahoot. We did it alone at first, and then, we did teams. In kahoot, it was better to pay attention to the question on the board. If you were drawing, you would never see it, never answer it, and lose!

We were reviewing everything that we knew over the year. It was very fun. We were going on different websites and taking quizzes. It was fun!
