Abstract

The activities described below are short demonstrations designed to teach students of any age about nanotechnology principles. They can be used individually or in conjunction with each other. Most of the materials can be purchased through www.teachersource.com.

Learning Objectives:

  • To understand that properties (physical, chemical, and biological) are different at the nanoscale than they are at the macro scale
  • To understand how the properties of nanoscale materials are used in various applications
  • To understand how natural nanoscale phenomena can be replicated or mimicked to advance technology
  • To understand how nanotechnology integrates biology, chemistry, physics, electronics, environmental sciences, engineering, etc.
