science proposal

1) Hypothesis - If hydrogen is added to cookies, then their shelf life will be longer.

2) The amount of hydrogen will be manipulated and the dependent variable is the cookies.

3) The connection made between my science project and senior project has to do with the cookies. The cookies that we are selling are the same cookies that are used in the project.

4) I plan on adding more and more hydrogen to different boxes to see which one lasts longer and the effect the hydrogen has on the cookies.

5) The project catagory is under chemistry.

I will be controling the amount of hydrogen in each of the boxes of cookies. the hydrogen tank that we are using shows a gage in which we can measure the amout of hydrogen in each box in ml.
then I will take the cookies and put them all in a controlled climate invironment and over time I will I will record there freshness status. In doing this experment I hope to come up with a box of cookies with the best possible shelflife.

Self Reflection

1. As the year is winding down we are getting more and more into our senior project, as it goes right now i think I am in the Ap range.
2. One thing that is going very well for me is my service learning. I was able to get service learning very easily through my dad.
3. One thing i would like to improve on is staying up to date with everything and turning everything in on time.

Independent Component 1 plan approval

2. what got you in the biz?
3. What brought your biz to america
4. How did you get started?
5. what was the hardest thing you incountered?

First interview 1 & First Presentation

The interview affected my presentation by alot the person I interviewed went into great detail about the history behind these cookies, so I used that in my presentation. I talked about how the company first started and how it moved to America.
I believe mine stood out because I talked about the orgins of the persian cookie factory.
The hardest thing I faced during this interview was that everything was in farsi so I had to interpret it to English.

Presentation 1

I will be teaching about persian cookies.
Objective: Students will learn the difference between persian cookies and american cookies, they will also learn the background of persian cooies

interview check

For my first  Interview I willl be Interviewing Shahnaz Hosseinzadeh. I am interviewing her because she has spent up to about six years working in a persian cookie factory. In addition to those five questions I will also be asking her, what her favorite aspect of factory is and why. I will also ask her what the hardest thing she incountered in this field.

persian cookies

My topic is going to be persian cookies. I picked this because ever since I was 12 I worked in a persian cookie factory. By the end of the year I hope to know how to run a persian cookie business. I also want to learn everything the factory has to offer.
