Technology: Year 8 Testing and trialling enterprise ideas

This week the Year 8's have been testing and trialling their ideas for their enterprise project

raro ice blocks- all the flavours

then we tested them

we tried milk ice blocks with chocolate syrup

smores- we melted these in the oven

cookies for ice cream and cookies- we had no idea how to portion the runny mixture so we spread it on a tray and cut it, when cooked, but using eggs made the cookie too soft- next time we will use a recipe without eggs- this might keep the cost/s down too

we tried cereal bars- as we know that they sell well in school

toffee apples- we burnt the toffee or it didn't set

so we will try another idea next week

cup cakes were easy

and successful

snow cones needed a lot of syrup to flavour it- this would raise the cost/s and we would lose profit

edible glitter was cheap to make and would make cupcakes look pretty

pizza is always a winner- we costed that for every pizza made/sold we would make $6.00 profit

we tried waffles but had no waffle maker

they tasted good but looked like panikeke

churros

deep fry them

shake with sugar and cinnamon

enjoy- yum

we evaluated our outcome testing

thinking hats helped guide our thinking

next week we will continue to cost/test and evaluate our recipes for viability
