Carbon Nanotubes in Our Everyday Lives

The objective of this learning activity is to "create an awareness of carbon nanotubes (CNT) and how their use in future applications within the field of nanotechnology can benefit our society." This will be achieved through the use of hands-on models that explore bonding and molecular geometry. Furthermore, the creation of carbon nanotubes from carbon sheets will be demonstrated using folded sheets of paper. This sixteen-page document explains the Materials and Equipment Needed, Module Procedure, Assessment, and Teaching Resources necessary for this activity.
