Nanotechnology Nanotechnology and nanoscience is about controlling and understanding matter on the sub-micrometer and atomic scale. This wikibook on nanoscience and nanotechnology gathers information about the various tools, methods and systems to provide students, researchers and everyone else an open-source handbook and overview guide to this vast interdisciplinary and expanding field - a book that can be adjusted as new things appear and improved by you! Chapter 1: Introduction Why is nanotechnology such a 'hot' subject - and is it more hype than substance? Chapter 2: Seeing 'Nano' Microscopes allows us to probe the structure of matter with high spatial resolution, making it possible to see for instance individual atoms with tools such as the scanning tunneling microscope, the atomic force microscope, and the transmission electron microscope. Chapter 3: Physics at the Nanoscale On the nanoscale force that we in everyday life do not consider strong, such as contact adhesion, become much more important.

iMovie Movie Trailers across the content areas I have finally had time to work with iMovie movie trailers on the iPad, and it is so much fun! A movie trailer is a perfect summarizing activity. It can also act as a “teaser” as an introduction to a presentation or student paper. A movie trailer includes many of the literacy areas. The movie trailer component of the iMovie app for the iPad includes several themes to pick from. The first step in making an iMovie movie trailer is taking a look at the script and storyboard pages. One great site by Timothy Jefferson includes PDFs of all of the theme scripts so students can work things out on paper first, as they are going through the development process. Some ideas for using movie trailers across the curriculum include: You can also find many tutorials which include instructions on the process of using iMovie movie trailers on the iPad From MacLife (written)From Make Use Of (written)From Pasco Schools (video)From Jim Gates (video)
Nano Links 14 Ways To Store And Share Files On The iPad iPads are neat little devices that can pretty much do it all: play music, support interactive content, reshape how we think of textbooks, produce high-quality videos, and even take a step back and function as a good old-fashioned typewriter. The iPad does, however, have its share of flaws ranging from those hardware related (proprietary connections that work with Apple and only Apple products), to software (if you want an iPad, you must go through iTunes). And one of the educators’ biggest gripes with the iPad is its lack of storage space. While PCs and laptops are now measuring their size in terabytes, and Android tablets play nicely with PCs–offering drag-n-drop support and USB integration, among other supporting features, iPads have an uphill battle here. Identify Your Needs There are a variety of explanations here for why Apple knowingly went for such small storage spaces. So what other options are there? What do you want to do, Store, Share, or Both? Apple’s Recommendation 1. 5 & 6.
Intro to Size and Scale | Exploring the Nanoworld Introduction It is useful to know the approximate sizes of things. Is something bigger than a bread box? In Egyptian times, the length of an object was measured in cubits-one cubit corresponded to the distance from one's elbow to the tip of one's middle finger. The Metric System In everyday life the English system of measurement with units like feet, gallons and pounds is primarily used in the United States. 1000 meters (m) would be written as 1 kilometer (km). How big is a kilometer? For those of us at UW-Madison, the distance from the edge of campus at Library mall to the steps of the Wisconsin state capitol building is 1 kilometer (km). The world's longest suspension bridge, Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, is just under 2 kilometer (km) long, measuring 1,991 m. How big is a meter? A meter is a little bit bigger than a yard. How big is a centimeter? A centimeter (cm) is 1/100th of a meter. Your pinky finger is about 1 cm wide. How big is a millimeter? A millimeter (mm) is 1/1000th of a meter.

Defining Nanotechnology The term "nanotechnology" has been getting a lot of attention in the media in the past few years. News stories have heralded nanotechnology as the next scientific revolution--with promises of faster computers, cures for cancer and solutions to the energy crisis, to name a few. The formal definition of nanotechnology from the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) is: Nanotechnology is the understanding and control of matter at dimensions between approximately 1 and 100 nanometers, where unique phenomena enable novel applications. Encompassing nanoscale science, engineering, and technology, nanotechnology involves imaging, measuring, modeling, and manipulating matter at this small scale. The NNI definition can be distilled to three basic concepts: Nanotechnology is very, very small. Is the iPod Nano an example of Nanotechnolgy? A more common example is the iPod Nano:
