Not Just for Profit

There are many groups and organisations that do things to help people, animals or environments. These groups do not do things to make a profit. They do things to help improve the world for people and animals. Investigate some non profit organisations. Take a look at a few of the links below.  Use these links to start your research and find out some basic information about some of these charity organisations.

Which of these groups do you like the sound of most?
Why do you like them?
Can you come up with three or four reasons why you would support them.

Let's Get Cooking

Term 2 Week 2 Challenge

To begin our inquiry into "Not Just for Profit" we first need to understand a bit more about what profit is and how it is made.
Use this classic Edmonds biscuit recipe to bake and then sell some biscuits on Friday.

The  Science and Technology Room is booked for Monday afternoon so that you can go and investigate what equipment is available for your cooking.

The Science and Technology Room is booked for Thursday 1.30pm until 3pm for you to do your cooking.

Sell your fresh biscuits on Friday at morning tea time.

Important
Keep a record of your progress through the week by taking photos of your adverts, the cooking and the selling of your biscuits.  If you use the ipads (use the same ipad for your group share one ipad between two groups) you will be able to easily upload your pictures and then add them to your blog. We can do this part next week.  PS. If I have an internet connection I'll send you some pictures of where the competition is being held.


Steps
1. Organise your cooking team (3 or 4)

2. Decide who will bring which ingredients (it might be a good idea to team up with a second group for the condensed milk - a small can will easily do this recipe 4x over)

3. You will probably want to make a double quantity (some to eat yourself and the rest to sell on Friday)

4. Check out the equipment and utensils in the technology room - you might need to bring some extra things from home. Some groups might like to bring cookie cutters.

5. Work out the cost of your biscuit ingredients.  Think about how much you will sell your biscuits for.

6. Decide on an advertising plan.  Biscuit name. Poster campaign.  
7.  A reason to support us - For this first go at making a profit I suggest that we use the money for some sports gear.

8. Make your biscuits.

9. Sell your biscuits.

10. Figure out your profit.  Money made minus cost of ingredients, power and labour! 

Recipe:

125g butter
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
2 drops vanilla essence
1 1/2 cups plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup chocolate chips (I like the large chunky ones)

Cream butter and sugar and condensed milk and vanilla until light and fluffy. Sift the flour and baking powder and add with the chocolate chips until well combined. Spoon onto lined baking tray and bake for 20 minutes at 180 deg C.
