Bready or not

Hello! Welcome to Food Unit 2 AP. In this unit, we discussed leavening agents, why 350 is the perfect temperature for cookies and for this Action project we baked our own bread. Why did we do this? To see the differences between bread recipes that used two different leaving agents Yeast ( Control) and Baking soda (experimental).



In the end, I was able to really see the differences in loaves of bread. Which is something I never really considered when buying or eating bread. Who knew so much science was in food!

Grow a pear!

Welcome to the first of the last APs of my freshman year! In this AP I thought about radical gardening and growing food for everyone. I learned about symbiosis, photosynthesis and phototropism. We discussed Charles Darwin and Fukuoka's principles of farming. While we didn't go on any FE's we did start mini can gardens. My group had Dill and currently, the plant has grown to be 3 inches tall!
