Weekly Blog 5/16 - 20/16



Summary: 
          150 trillion calories are wasted each year and the average kid needs 1,900 calories each day which is about 8 oz. of food. 2.3 billion tons of food are wasted each year and that is about the weight of 300 million elephants! About 21 thousand people die each day because of hunger or things related to hunger and about every 10 seconds a child dies from hunger. 60 percent of people buy too much food and waste some of it. People think that the expiration date means when food is no longer safe to eat but that is not correct the expiration date only tells when the food is at its freshest.



SP4: Analyzing and interpreting data: Did you create a graph, table, drawing, etc. of the data you obtained in an experiment?
This week me and my team worked on a tri-fold and Sophie drew imperfect foods and we surveyed people to see if they could eat it. We found that for the tomato drawing with a little bit of mold and small scratches 21 people would eat it and 6 would not. For the apple 17 people would eat it and 2 would not. For the banana 15 people said yes, 1 said maybe and 1 said no. After we got the data we made pi charts for each drawing.
