Creativity

During this vacation to stay creative, I worked on my cooking skills, specifically with pizza. This creative outlet was a part of collecting data for my biology IA, for my IA I was manipulating the heat and exposure to noise that the dough received during fermentation. These variables created a challenge that led to creative problem-solving. In an effort to maintain the integrity of the scientific method I needed to create an environment where I could control other variables and manipulate sound and heat, essentially playing God. To help solve this problem I focused on the smallest room in my house with an AC that I would use to control temperature and the use the tv sound to manipulate the sound output. But the real creative juices were able to flow after. While cooking I was able to try new styles of making pizza, using the oven, grill, cast iron skillet, etc... and have fun with different toppings. This creative part of my vacation allowed me to think freely with an open mind only limited b y my own imagination.
