This afternoon Stephanie set up a simple EXCEL (ICT) spreadsheet for chocolate analysis. She created all the sections for calories, fat, sugar, price, packaging, company etc and we got started with the experiment.
This is Science at its very best!
When we laid all the chocolate out, I realised I had actually bought rather a lot!
As the bars also came in different sizes, we had to use all of our Maths skills to work out a comparable price per 100g.
We started with White chocolate and dark chocolate. All bars had to be touched, smelt and then we did a blind taste test. When they had finished they entered all their data from their paper sheets into the Excel programme.
When we have done Milk chocolate next week, we will have a fairly definitive guide to which chocolate is best for you.
The kids decided that they did not like dark chocolate. That is a real shame because it means Greg and I have to eat it! What a hard life being a home-educator!!
Friday 4th May
Stephanie made gorgeous CHOCOLATE cookies this afternoon in Home Economics. Yes, there is a theme to this! Good job someone can cook because it is not one of my natural gifts!
Jacqueline has made good progress with her website for her business on Dreamweaver. She has done most of the content. We have got to edit the video content yet for the tutorials. Greg created a beautiful pawprint background for her, which we will be using on the pages.
