In HASS we recently learnt what a water footprint was. I was really shocked because I saw that we use so much water in our everyday lives. Just imagine, for one hamburger, the water footprint is 660 gallons! The way to improve your water footprint is to eat more fruits and vegetables.

This year in InnovatED we designed a gift for our grandparents, describing the differences between our education. For my family friend i created a replica of a textbook, talking about the different resources, learning areas, and much more. We did this over a term, planning, creating and expanding our ideas.

In Food Tech this week we had the opportunity to make oatmeal slices. We made these with only a few ingredients, golden syrup, flour, sugar, oats, egg and butter. We then put these into the oven to bake for 20 minutes. When they came out we cut them into slices and put them into our containers. They turned out to be super delicious!

In HASS we did a water carrying experiment. We did this because we wanted experience the struggle of having a low water supply. We had to carry a 15 L water bottle for 200 m. It was really tiring. The other experiment we carried out was transferring water from a bucket to another with only our hands. We had to save as much water as we could and not waste any. It took a long time to fill the bucket even until halfway.
