Presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, this two-part laboratory activity was designed to complement any chemistry unit on catalysts to "help students understand how nanoparticles may be more effective catalysts by investigating how the surface area-to-volume ratio of a...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, uses silver nanoplates as a tool to explore the relationship between shape and optical properties. Students will be able to compare material properties and behaviors at both the nano- and macroscale through the exercise, as...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, students will be prompted to think critically about examining the world around them. These flexible lessons will allow students to use magnifying glasses and microscopes to observe structures and gather information. For...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, teaches students which patients, from a variety of samples, have diabetes. Students will measure "...the glucose concentration of several synthetic blood and urine samples..." This contains a 13-page teacher guide, that...

This role playing activity, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers both methods of scientific inquiry and problem solving. In this activity, students will "use the skills of scientific inquiry to uncover the most likely perpetrator of a crime, and employ a paper...

In this lab students will study nanoparticles, specifically dilutions of gold and silver. Students will study brine shrimp and explore "...the effects of exposing living organisms to different nanoparticles at various concentrations." There is a twenty-one page teacher's preparatory guide,...

This lesson, from the Northern Wyoming Community College District, focuses on the geology of nonrenewable energy resources, including coal, oil, and oil shale. Over the course of the lesson students create a model of geological strata; compare and contrast the heat content and geologic structure of...
