  1. Organise a group of two and get a question from Mr. Cole.
  2. Find information on the internet or in your books about your topic, and make sure you understand it!
  3. Make 2-5 powerpoint slides about your topic, and write a script so you will know what to say.

We will present these tomorrow in J18, so make sure you come on time. For homework, read over your section so you know what you will say in front of the class.

  2. How is the food on this bbq getting warmed? Name all three types of heat transfer here:
  3. What is convection?
  4. Why is a convection oven better at cooking? 
  5. Watch this video. Explain how Heston uses conduction, convection and radiation to create the meal:
  6. Think of your favourite hot food. Find a picture of it, and put it on a powerpoint slide. You need to use arrows and axplanations to show HOW the food is heated (by conduction, convection, radiation, or more than one) and where the heat comes from. Save this and we will print it if we can.
Homework:
For one meal you have this week, explain what you had which was cooked and how it was heated. Make sure you use thte terms from class today. Bring it in next week. on Monday.
