Making a product out of wool?!

In maths, my group and I had to come up with a product that uses crossbred wool, that will successfully sell to help it get sold more. We had enablers to help us make this product, the first one was lasers, so it could cut our product perfectly, the second one was, robots, to help sew and stitch our product faster. There is more information about it in this presentation below.


Reflection:
What I learnt?
I have learn't the process in making stuff or making a new product just to help sell one thing that isn't getting sold more than it should.

What I liked/Disliked?
I like our idea, but I didn't like the prototype as much, I also disliked presenting, because my groups vocabulary was a bit off.

Feedback - My feedback is to read the presentation before presenting.

Sources - WikipediaStudent guides,

Question for you - Can you sell a product using something that already exist?

Health & Safety
-------------------------------------------------------------
What is the difference to Hygiene and Personal safety?
- Hygiene is about keeping your food, equipment, and yourself clean
- Personal safety is about making sure your food is safe to eat, your holding knives correctly, etc.

How would you have demonstrated these two so far?
- Tying up your hair
- Washing your hands
- Wiping down your table
- Right temperature for food e.g chicken
- Use right chopping boards and knives, so you don't contaminate food
When we use chicken what are some key things you need to remember to ensure your food is safe to eat?
- Your temperature for your chicken is at 75 degrees
- Your chicken is white when cooked
-  You use the right copping board and knife. ( the yellow board and knife )

Bacteria
-------------------------------------------------------------
What is bacteria?
Bacteria is a single cell organism, that feeds off dirt warmth, etc.

What do bacteria need to survive?
- Food
- Warmth
- Neutral Ph levels
- Water
- Oxygen
- Time
- Temperature

Give 3 examples of how we avoid spreading bacteria?
- Keep your hands clean, wash your hands after you use toilet, before you cook, or when you sneeze or cough, etc.
- Avoid contact with other people
- Avoid touching your face, hair or body.



 At - 18 = freezer
 At 0 = freezing point
 At 2 - 4 = fridge
 At 37 = Optimal bacteria growth
 At 4 - 60 = Danger zone
 At 75 = middle of chicken
 At 80 = Reheating
 At 100 = boiling

It is very important to know these points, because it can tell you when bacteria is at it's dangerous zone, when its frozen, and when it doubling itself. bacteria is bad for us, as it can make you sick, so knowing when its gone or when the food is cooked, you wont get sick, and you will know these temperatures by this thermometer.

Why is it important?
A Moko on the face is the ultimate statement of one's identity as a Maori. Both men and women wear Moko on their face. It is believed that the head is the most sacred art of the body and to wear the moko on the face is to bear undeniable announcement of who you are.

How was Ta Moko applied traditionally?
The way they applied the Ta Moko to the face is they would, dip a narrow blade in black pigment and then tap the blade with a mallet to chisel deep incisions into the skin. This process left permanent grooves in the skin. Caterpillars were use for pigment in Ta Moko

Making a hazard sign!

In Tech, I had the opportunity to make a hazard sign for the workshop. I took some time in making this, as it was really hard for me doing it on a computer. My hazard sign is about, not to put your hand in this bender, mainly because it can cause harm to you and a really bad injury. This can crush your fingers. I thought this sign was really important because some people may think it's funny to play around with stuff, but that can actually cause some harm towards you or others.
