Reaction Paper on our Landfill
Before we decided on the structure and look of our landfill, we had our
own research about what are landfills, what is their purpose and what is
their characteristics. In my research, I noticed that landfills consisted of
different layers. Landfills are one of the oldest methods of disposing trash,
and this method is still used until today. Eventually, through time, these
landfills gain structure rather than just simply being something that is
composed completely of garbage. We made sure to understand what the
landfill formation needs to do in order to form our own miniature DIY of a
landfill with desserts or food in general as components.
The first thing we did as soon as this task was announced was to think
of a food item or a dessert that is extremely resistant to liquid. Naturally this
was a bummer for us as most foods are generally susceptive to liquid aside
from ice cream naturally. However we decided against ice cream as all of the
members of our group come from far places and if we decided on an ice
cream we would not know where to store it and most especially in this
weather that is so hot that it could definitely melt an ice cream in mere
moments. Eventually one of the common agreements between us was to use
brownies. Brownies unlike other pastries was naturally fudgy and had more
of a thicker consistency with little to no airholes between them. At the end,
we decided on which ingredients to bring. Our basis of our landfill’s
appearance was to remain as similar to a real landfill’s structure as possible,
so we paid particular attention to the layers. We may have been too
particular that we leaned towards appearance more than taste. In the end,
our final decision to add sour strips on top was probably the MVP, as this
candy was very hydrophobic and resistant to liquid.
