This module, created by the Center for Nanotechnology Education (Nano-Link), introduces students to nanoparticles. During the learning activity students "make gold nanoparticles through a chemical process, and examine their optical properties." Learning outcomes for this module are: Understand...

This 5-page document, created by the Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge Network (NACK) Center at Pennsylvania State University, serves as a guide for a laboratory activity where students "cast thin films of the block copolymer formed by the sequential polymerization of styrene and...

This exercise, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, covers the concept of nanobacteria. In this lesson, students will "calculate surface area, draw graphs, and approximate the populations of bacteria and nanobes." This exercise will run more smoothly if students have...

Module Description: This module, created by the Center for Nanotechnology Education (Nano-Link), introduces students to the technologies, processes and methods used for the creation of nanocelluloses. During the learning activity students produce a nanofiber paper by creating and processing pulp...

Module Description: This module, created by the Center for Nanotechnology Education (Nano-Link), introduces students to nanoconrete, "the nanotechnologies, processes, and methods being tested by industry to prepare strong and lightweight cementitious products and systems." During the learning...

This nanoHub webpage provides a Nanocrystalline Solar Cells lab created by SHINE: Seattle's Hub for Industry-driven Nanotechnology Education. "This lab consists of activities designed to teach students about solar cells." Lab learning objectives include: Gain a basic understanding of circuits and...

Module Description: This module, created by the Center for Nanotechnology Education (Nano-Link), introduces students to nanofiltration, a technique that can remove "even the smallest of pathogens" from community water sources. In this module students will "use a model to illustrate the...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, 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...

Module Description: This module, created by the Center for Nanotechnology Education (Nano-Link), introduces students to the function of sunscreen and how nanoparticles can be used as protection against ultraviolet radiation. During the module students will "... compare the effectiveness of...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, 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...
