Nanoparticle Pollutants
Teaching Materials | 17 Jan 2017 | Contributor(s):: Darren Hayes, Nancy Healy, NNCI Nano
Many plastics are in our oceans due to pollution, including ocean dumping and land runoff. Sunlight and alkaline ocean water break these plastics down into small particles, many are nanoscale in size. These nanoparticles can easily enter our cells. Students examine if and how these...

Seeing Nano: Using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) to View Nano-size Objects
Teaching Materials | 02 Dec 2016 | Contributor(s):: Samantha Andrews, NNCI Nano
Nano-size objects are smaller than the wavelength of light and because of this they cannot be viewed with a light microscope. Special tools are needed to see nanoscale objects, one of which is the scanning electron microscope. This activity will have students explore the types of images...
