How To Decorate A Dotty Cake | Manhattan Craft Room by Brett Bara

My niece’s birthday is a fortnight away, and even though she’s having a party on Sunday, her birthday is on Saturday so I really want to make her a special cake for her. I love traditions, and I think making this fr her birthday each year would be lovely - I could even make the dots in different colours! But I quite like the pastel colours in this one. I will have to practice doing dots before attempting a whole cake - unfortunately I’ll have to make quite a few cupcakes to be able to do that!

After Recess, We’ll Be Inventing New Molecules

You give some kids an atomic model set and they immediately fall asleep. Others, they struggle to recreate even a water molecule. Ten year-old Clara Lazen? She invented a new molecule.

Playing around in her 5th-grade class, she arranged carbon, nitrogen and oxygen atoms into a molecule that had never been seen before. But when a local chemist studied the structure, the bonds all fit like they should and the structure was realistic, at the very least. They called it tetranitratoxycarbon.

Now Clara has her name on a research paper, and despite the possible application of the molecule to explosives, she’s pretty excited to be a part of such an awesome science project.

Check out a video feature on her discovery here.
