8 ST EDWARD’S CHRONICLE

Shell Biology Lucy Baddeley writes: The annual Shell Biology project, to create a physical model of a cell with annotations, continues to play an important part in our Shell Curriculum. You can see from these photos how our pupils respond to the challenge. Below Damola Otegbola describes how he created his excellent models of both an animal and a plant cell last year. All models are currently on show in the foyer of the Ogston Building. ‘When I started my cell project I had to look for inspiration and where better to look than previous cell projects. I made notes on things that were good and things I felt I could do better. I thought to myself: why make one cell when you can make two? So that’s what I did! I encountered a few challenges - for example, my first plant cell was made of Play Doh but it cracked. With just four days left before the start of term, it was a race against time to make a new one; luckily I finished it just in time. Damola Otegbola
