Thursday, May 5th and homework!

Today in class we started reviewing math concepts for our end of the year math test. We have been working on revising our poems and will start publishing today...thinking about how the text, placement of the text and graphics can give impact to the mood or message.

We also went over our Cupcake project yesterday and have homework due on Friday.  Students started a food science and technology journal.  One the first page we began an end of year 'task list'.  We need to complete:
Research for a nutritional challenge.
Study for math end of year test.
Finish poetry book
Create your own recipe.
Bake the recipe.
Test your cupcake for taste and texture.
Improve the recipe.
Make it again.
Test it again.
Have a Cupcake War and receive feedback from 'experts'.
Submit recipes to our community.
Write up our research to share with other food scientists!

In addition we had homework that is due on Friday.  It is very important for our project that we work together and complete all the tasks needed to make the cupcakes healthy and tasty for our target focus group.
