Description

Teaching middle school or high school students? Use these resources to help kids understand what nanotechnology is and how it may impact their lives. You might start by watching Mark Ratner's seminar A Gentle Introduction to Nanotechnology and Nanoscience. Check out the various animations that we have to explain nanoscience concepts. Try running a simple tool online, such as CNTbands.

Looking for something that is not here? Use our form to make suggestions, and we'll ask our network of content developers to see if we can produce what you need.

Do you have your own nano teaching materials? Post them on the nanoHUB for all to see!

    Animations | 02 Apr 2005 | Contributor(s):: EPICS LSPM Team

    Join Laura and Martin on a wild ride through the milliworld and the microworld to reach the nanoworld. Along the way, they discover how small a nanometer truly is.

  3. Nano/Bio Connection

    3.0 out of 5 stars 

    Animations | 02 Apr 2005 | Contributor(s):: EPICS LSPM Team

    Nanotechnology is not just a topic for physicists, chemists, and engineers. Laura explains the important role of biologists in this field, and shows how they may help provide clues to molecular assembly techniques.

  4. Scanning Probe Microscopes

    3.0 out of 5 stars 

    Animations | 15 Mar 2005 | Contributor(s):: EPICS LSPM Team

    Laura explains how scanning probe microscopes can be used to create images of small devices, molecules, and even atoms! A large-scale version of the scanning probe microscope is built out of Legos to show the basic principles.

  5. Feasibility of Molecular Manufacturing

    3.0 out of 5 stars 

    Animations | 14 Mar 2005 | Contributor(s):: EPICS LSPM Team
