Happy Halloween!

What does Halloween remind you of? Did you say pumpkin heads, glow in the dark items, creepy crawlers - in particular, spiders and spider webs? Sure, we all know spiders spin webs of silk, and silk are made of proteins, which are polymers of amino acids!

But do we know how the presence of these molecules affect the properties of the spider web? Find out more about them here!


To top it off, here are some interesting experiments you could consider carrying out with your students!


Have a great one guys, till next time!
