MADD Diary


Today was the last week of MADD messenger and we learnt about talents and skills, Pitia said talent + skills = AWESOMENESS. Pitia told us about ten thousand hours how all the best sports stars practice and practice to get better and that is was scientifically calculated roughly to be around ten thousand hours.

We had to perform a little talent skit or a performance and our performance was based on gaming and how some of our teammates didn’t read the rules.

Haiku Poem Softball

LI: We used a Japanese formula called haiku, it uses syllables.

I tried batting the ball
but I was missing the ball
each time I keep missing

I ran to the first
base then the second base from
there to a home run

We swapped over to fielding
and it was the other groups turn
to bat but softball was finished

  1. There are 5 main flavour receptors. Sweet, Salty, Bitter, Sour and Umami.
List some foods fit each of the flavour receptors.  SHARE

Bitter
  • Coffee
  • Cocoa beans
  • Ginger
Salty
  • Seawater
  • Corn beef
  • Beef jerky

  1. On Page 29, there is the great jelly bean challenge. Mrs Parker will provide you with some Jelly Beans (or other items) to complete this task. SHARE
    Use the template for a science report below to write what you did, and what you found.

Question: Do our taste buds require smell?
Yes so you could have a better taste and smell in your meal because if you cannot smell it wouldn't be tasty how it normally would be it will corrupt your meal that you are having

Hypothesis:

I think theres going to be no taste in the jelly beans because we closed our noses so we couldn't smell and we cover our visioned so we couldn't see so I think theres going to be 15%
of taste.

Materials: Blindfold, jelly beans and a person to experiment on

Procedure:
  1. First you find a partner (make sure he is alive)
  2. Then you get jelly beans (make sure there not expired)
  3. make sure your partners eyes are closed and nose is blocked.
  4. After you have found the jelly beans insert it into your partners mouth and Then you write down what your partner is saying about the taste and the smell.

Observations:

Conclusion:




Once completed remember to  SHARE your work to blog.
ONLY share the answers/activities which have  SHARE next to them.

When sharing your work on your blog remember to write a sentence to explain what you read, and what the activity was.
Conference with your teacher before sharing.
