Published by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, this hour-long activity has students "simulate the function of a scanning probe microscope" by creating their own scanning probe microscope (SPM) boxes. The Teacher's Guide contains everything the instructor needs to carry out the...
Module Description:
This module was created by the Center for Nanotechnology Education (Nano-Link) and includes an activity for students to learn about and practice the scientific method. During the activity students will use cellophane fish to test various hypotheses about why and how the fish...
This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, teaches students about Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Nanoparticles are too small to be viewed with a light microscope so a SEM must be employed which "uses electrons to image the surface of a material." A Teacher's...
This 34-page teachers guide, provided by Maricopa Advanced Technology Education Center (MATEC), includes semiconductor science activities. The student activities in this packet are designed to be incorporated into a standard high school chemistry curriculum. The intent is to provide the student with...
This 1-page lab activity instructor guide, made available by Maricopa Advanced Technology Education Center (MATEC), provides an overview of a servo motor diagramming and writing lab. After completion of this lab, students will be able to "select, diagram, and wire a servomotor for a specific...
This experiment, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers Shape Memory Alloys or Smart Materials. A Smart Material or Shape Memory Alloys belongs to a class of materials which displays the shape memory effect (SME); they possess the ability to radically change crystal...
There are many curriculum materials, professional development, and student enrichment activities available on this website. These resources are designed for teachers and students ranging from K-12 through higher education. Most resources are interactive and engage the students on many different...
This lesson, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers the general concepts of size and scale by focusing on measuring length. Students will learn about different scales of measure which is fundamental to learning about nanotechnology. After all, "helping students...
This lesson, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers the metric system. Students will explore the use of the metric system in the activities, and also "read the How Stuff Works article –“How Nanotechnology Works” and answer questions about the article. Further...
This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, teaches students how to measure the efficiency of a solar cell. Students will compare the output power of a silicon PV cell with the input power of incandescent light bulbs illuminating the PV from a set distance. A Teacher's...
