Alexander Calder Inspired Kinetic Structures: Biochemistry Macromolecules

Help me give my students art supplies for an amazing STEAM project! Choo Choo!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Herrera's classroom raised $196

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Students will build macromolecules found in foods such as triglycerides, carbohydrates, proteins and other extended chemical structures for their Biochemistry of Food class. The goal is to make Alexander Calder-like kinetic structures to hang in our classroom. This is a whole-class group project.

My students have assets in the arts and sciences and it has been my goal to meet them where the rubber hits the pavement!

I cannot keep up with them unless I have these amazing supplies to ignite their curiosity and keep their engines revved and full of high octane fuel!

Mr. Herrera Sotomayor Arts & Science Magnet School Grades 9-12
