These presentation slides are from the K-12 Resources in Nanotechnology webinar presented by the Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge (NACK) Center on January 31, 2014. Joyce Palmer Allen, Assistant Educational Coordinator at the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, discussed...

This exercise, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, 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 an...

Nanooze is a website that has been created to get kids excited about science and especially nanotechnology. The world that is too small to see is full of interesting stuff. Scientists and engineers are beginning to understand this world and learning how to change things at the nanoscale level. Why?...

This 4-page Nanoscale Electrodeposition Activity is part of a series of resources collected by the Nebraska Nanoscale Facility to teach students about electron-beam vapor depositions. This hands-on activity is designed to help students in Grades 5-12 "apply an understanding of relationships among...

This 2-page document is part of a series of resources created by the Nebraska Nanoscale Facility to teach students about electron-beam vapor depositions. Sample data tables can guide students' note taking and data analysis during nanoscale electrodeposition. This document is part of the Nanoscale...

This 2-page Nanoscale Electrodeposition Guide is part of a series of resources collected by the Nebraska Nanoscale Facility to teach students about electron-beam vapor depositions. This guide is intended to help instructors implement that Electrodeposition Activity in their classrooms. This activity...

This video adapted from North Dakota State College of Science explores the range of science and technology careers that work with matter at an incredibly small scale: the nanoscale. A college instructor explains that almost anyone interested in mathematics or science, whether it’s physics, biology,...
