  • FOCUS / ARONGA

    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

    • We are FOCUSING... on identifying and comparing food compounds and how they influence cultural dishes taste and texture
    • We are FOCUSING... describing and choosing different methods to cook foods


    Learning Intention:

    Understand how pH of food compounds react and can influence the taste, smell and texture of food.

    Paearu Angitu / Success Criteria: I can/have...

    • Use universal indicator and pH paper to measure pH 
    • Identify if foods are acids or basic using the pH scale
    • Describe how acids and bases can work together to influence the taste, smell and texture of food
    • Explain what neutralisation is
    • Extension: 
    • Keywords: pH, pH scale, acid, basic, neutral, universal indicator, neutralisation
