On Tuesday 9 December, the combined science Year 11 class undertook a cross curricular activity, using what they have learned in biology class on variation and preparation of genetically modified food, and put it into practice by preparing two different pizza toasts, one made from genetically modified tomato puree, the other, from organic puree that students prepared themselves by chopping and grinding tomatoes. Then they applied different toppings as shown in the images below. A big thanks to Dr Mahmood and Mrs Merghani for organising this session.
