Our Year Group 7 learners embarked on a fascinating interdisciplinary journey integrating Home Economics, Art, Biology, and Technology. They explored the human specialized cell and its organelles, learning how each component floats within a jelly-like substance called cytoplasm. To bring this concept to life, the students created their own cytoplasm using gelatin and boiling water, and once their jelly set, they crafted colourful clay organelles, representing different cell parts and their functions.
Taking the learning a step further, the students delved into coding, discovering how to program a dial module using turns, angles, and variables to control the speed of a motor and change light intensity. This active model beautifully connected biological understanding with technological application.
The entire experience was a joyful blend of creativity and science - a true celebration of learning.
