Whare Tapa Wha: The Four Cornerstones Of Maori Health

Cupboard/Fridge/Freezer

Fridge: 4-0°c, The fridge with help to not spread bacteria but if it were in the cupboard it might spread faster.

Freezer: -18°c, Some items will go off if they have not be frozen or will go off faster in a cupboard then in the freezer.

Cupboard:15°c, Some foods are best in the cupboard because if they go in the fridge or freezer they start to rot faster.

Bacteria Stages

Different Bacteria Stages

-18= It stops growing

2-4= Will start to stop growing

4-60= Bacteria can grow to an unsafe level

37= Bacteria can grow 

75= The bacteria can be killed

80= The bacteria will start to not be there no more

100= They stop growing

Maori Tattooing

Moko (Maori Tattooing)

  Moko is the name of Maori tattooing which is something the Maori men would do when they wanted to get tattoos for different meanings.

The moko's were normally curvy lines with patterns, never crossed the center of the face.

One of the moko designs can go on the left side of the face which is generally the father's ancestry and the right side is for the mother's ancestry. 

I think that I would not want to get a Moko only because it would hurt and I don't really want scars on my face. 

My Ta moko is in the place where the woman get tattooed because I am a female.

My Ta moko means family.

I Wonder (Part 10)

I wonder...
What is the smallest animal in the world?
The smallest animal in the world at the moment is a bumblebee bat.
The bumblebee bat is also known as Kitti's hog-nosed bat and is about 29-33mm in length and 2g in mass. They can live up to 5 to 10 years and they are an endangered bat.
They are found in Thailand and Southeast Burma and normally live in limestone caves along rivers.
They feed on different insects. They are called Bumblebee Bat because the size is similar to a bumblebee. They were first discovered by Thai biologist, Kitti Thonglongya in 1973.

Cooking Routine (Tagul)

Food Testing

Testing for simple sugars

Aim:
I want to find out how to test for simple sugars.

Equipment:

• Bunsen burner
• Test tube tongs
• Benedicts Solution
• Food sample
• Test tubes
• Safety Glasses

Method:

1. Place about 2mL of food sample into a test tube then add 5 drops of Benedict's solution.
2. Heat the test tube over a blue flame. (DO NOT LET BOIL!!!)

Results:

A positive test for a simple sugar result in the Benedict's Solution changing from a blue colour to an orange colour to a red/brown colour.

Conclusion:

The orange juice reacted with Benedict's Solution, therefor orange juice must contain simple sugar.

Testing for Complex Sugars (Iodine Test)

Aim:

I want to find out how to test for complex sugars

Equipment:

• Iodine solution
• Food sample
• Test tube

Method:

1. Place 2mL of the food sample into a test tube.
2. Add 3-5 drops of iodine

Results

If complex sugars are present, the iodine solution will change from a brown colour to a black colour.

Conclusion

Bread reacted with the iodine solution, therefore bread contains complex sugar.

Testing for Protein (Biuret Test)

Aim:
I want to find out how to test for protein.

Equipment:

• Test tube
• Food Sample
• Sodium Hydroxide
• Copper Sulfate

Method:

1. Put the food sample into the test tube.
2. Add 5 drops of Sodium Hydroxide into the test tube.
3. Add 5 drops of Copper Sulfate into the test tube.
4. Gently shake from side to side

Results:

If the solution remains blue, then no protein is present. If the solution turns to a purple colour, then protein is present.

Conclusion:
The solution turned purple so therefor egg does contain protein.

I Wonder (part 9)

I Wonder...
Why do some animals live longer in the zoo than in the wild?

Over 80% (more than 50 mammals) live longer in a zoo than in the wild. This is because of the protection the zookeepers have for the animals which keeps predators, disease etc out so they can live longer. Most of the time smaller species with a faster pace in life will live longer in the zoo, but larger, slower species like elephants live longer in the wild.

Maori Research

L.O:
To understand the life of Maori prior to Europeans arriving and it's connection to today's society.

What was your research about?
My research was about the Matariki Waiata.

That Maaka Fiso was a finalist on the X Factor NZ in 2013.
The different names for the seven stars that are apart of Matariki.
Alcyone, Atlas, Electra, Taygeta, Pleione, Merope, and Maia.

2 things I thought I did well?
The pictures I made and finding the information in time.

Something I would do differently next time?
I would do a different thyme so I could find out different information.
