Featured Lessons: -- Try Your Hand at Nano Lesson focuses on two simple activities younger students can do to gain an appreciation of nanotechnology. First, students measure their hands in nanometers, second students learn about liquid crystals, their applications and nanotechnology connections and test how the heat of their hands changes the color of the crystals. They observe what they see, present their findings to the class, and reflect on the experience. -- The Power of Graphene Lesson focuses on graphene and its electrical properties and applications. -- Exploring at the Nanoscale Lesson focuses on how nanotechnology has impacted our society and how engineers have learned to explore the world at the nanoscale. -- What is a Nanometer?

Lesson focuses on how to measure in nanometers and provides students with an understanding of how small a nano really is. -- Sugar Crystal Challenge Students learn about how surface area can change at the nanoscale. -- Nano Waterproofing. Computer Science Unplugged |
