Science projects are often viewed by students as a difficult or dull task. However, there are ways to make it fun and entertaining. Our Senior students from Year 8 had plenty of fun while creating a hands-on and functional science project: They made edible and delicious cell cakes as their Science assignments.
Students had the option to either make an animal (round) cake or a plant (green square) one. Many students took up the challenge and baked cakes and muffins themselves rather than buying them from the shops. Various lollies and candies were then used to resemble the various parts of a cell, like the nucleus, plasma membrane, golgi complex, ribosomes and others. Students then finalised their projects by attaching labels and giving a quick explanation of the functions of each cell component.
