The Case of the Missing Cake – A Science Mystery

Last Friday, our students turned into detectives as they worked in house teams to solve The Case of the Missing Cake!

When the delicious treat mysteriously disappeared, our budding scientists had to roll up their sleeves and put their inquiry skills to the test. Using science experiments, they carefully examined evidence, tested powders and liquids, compared footprints and analysed clues to piece together what really happened.

It was wonderful to see so much teamwork, curiosity and problem-solving on display. Each house worked together, sharing ideas and testing their theories until the guilty culprit was revealed!

This exciting activity not only brought plenty of laughter and fun, but also gave students the chance to apply their Chemical Science knowledge in a real-life mystery. Best of all, after the mystery was solved, everyone enjoyed a slice of cake together — a sweet reward for a day of clever science and teamwork.
