Science and gastronomics collided in a seismic week of events at Lyndale Secondary College, Dandenong North.

Science Week started with liquid nitrogen for snap-freezing lollies and flowers, and for creating instant ice-cream with custard and mint chocolates.

It ended with a Great Science Cake Bake-Off for staff and students. With the theme of ‘Space’, some stellar bakes included a homage to the first Moon landing and a diagram of the Solar System.

Shraddha, Suha, Rivindi, Ayesha and Hitanshi took out the first prize for students.

In the staff category, Gayana Weerasinghe took the honours.

Other activities included a paper-plane engineering comp with student Prany’s plane soaring 19 metres, a science quiz and a Jeans for Genes fundraiser that collected $150.
