To evaluate the success of the "Metals in Biology" sessions, students were asked to take anonymous pre-and post-surveys either on a physical copy (in 2019) or Google Forms (in 2021). Quantitative assessment of the success of the outreach was not performed in 2020. The questions in the survey (outlined in Figure and available in Supplementary Information, S6) focused on assessing the knowledge of 8 th -9 th graders about the role of metals in biology and biocatalysis before and after the workshop, testing for short-term recall. Our pre-survey results showed that only 9-30% of students were aware of the presence of metals in our bodies (Figure demonstrations, and discussions in educating students about the role of metals in biology and biocatalysis, their requirement in our diets, and the structure-function relationship of proteins.
