Web-quest - "Let's go shopping!"




Here is another web-quest about shopping for ingredients to make a recipe you find on the Internet. Follow these steps:

1. Go the website taste.com.au to the kids friendly section. Write out the ingredients in a list and the amount you will need next to each one.

2. The next step is to find out what your postcode is. Go the site, Postcodes Australia, and enter your suburb and then click "Find". Even if you know your postcode, this is worth doing as it gives you some interesting facts about your suburb.

3. Go to Coles Online and enter your postcode in the "New Customers" section - bottom left. On the next page click on the yellow button that has "Start Shopping" on it.

4. Find where your ingredients for your recipe are and note down the cost. If you want the ingredient, click on the "Add" button - you will see it added to your total on the right.

5. Going further - if you have time go with an adult to the supermarket and buy the ingredients for your recipe and make it! Was it cheaper or more expensive than buying online?
