This experiment, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers Mixtures and Nanotechnology. The main idea of this module is to introduce the idea to students that the classification of mixtures is based on the size of particles. Students will also be prompted to connect two...

This lesson, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers self-assembly of molecules. Two activity are contained in this lesson. The first is "a hands-on modeling activity designed to introduce students to the area of nanotechnology and give them a basic understanding of...

Module Description: This module, from Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), covers the fabrication process of a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) process sensor. The module was originally designed to support a one week workshop where students build micro-sized pressure sensors. The...

This lesson plan, from the Contextualize to Learn project at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, is an exploration in multiplying decimal numbers. In this lesson, students work individually and in pairs to solve application problems using multiple methods. This lesson plan includes both student and...

This lesson plan, from the Contextualize to Learn project at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, is an exploration in contextualized applications of multiplying fractions. In this lesson, students work in pairs to perform multiplication with models, drawings, and equations, and solve application...

This lesson plan, from the Contextualize to Learn project at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, is an exploration in contextualized applications of multiplication. In this lesson, students work in pairs to define multiplication as groups consisting of equal number of objects. Students will also...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers the concept of nanomotors. Students will learn about nanometers through hands-on experiments which "explore nanoscale propulsion principles and guide students in recognizing and analyzing differences between macroscale...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, introduces students to the interaction between plastics, nanotechnology, and the natural world. Students will "understand how nanoparticles in our oceans can carry toxic pollutants into our cells, and how this may interfere...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, introduces students to the intersection between plastics, nanotechnology, and aquatic ecosystems. Students will "model how nanoparticle pollution travels from land to water. This lab is part 1 of a 2-part series of labs...

This lesson, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers scanning probe microscopes. A scanning probe microscope traces "surface features by movement of a very fine pointed tip mounted on a flexible arm across a surface." Students will experiment with using their index...
