Protein Bracelets At Shulamith HS

Shulamith HS Nutrition Class

 

Shulamith High School eleventh and twelfth graders in Mrs. Gross’s nutrition class explored amino acids and the proteins they make by creating protein bracelets.

Chevi Charlap, current Shulamith senior, said, “We really enjoyed discovering how 20 monomers can yield hundreds of thousands of different types of polymers. It was so cool to see proteins come to life.” After the project was completed, the students exchanged and gifted each other protein bracelets based on their functions, such as health, support, strength and wellness.
