Teaching Materials (1-7 of 7)

1. Nanotechnology and Cosmetics

   Teaching Materials | 15 Jan 2020 | Contributor(s):: Rochelle Lofstrand, NNCI Nano

   This is a series of four lessons which build upon each other to explore the use of nanotechnology in cosmetics as well as the social and ethical issues associated with nano-based cosmetics. The purpose of these lessons is to familiarize students with the chemistry of cosmetics and the anatomy...

2. Exploring Nanotechnology through Consumer Products

   Teaching Materials | 14 Jan 2020 | Contributor(s):: Robert Ehrmann, Nancy Healy, NNCI Nano

   This lesson should begin with the Introduction to Nanotechnology PowerPoint or use any of the videos on YouTube that introduce nanoscale science.  Students then extend their knowledge by exploring consumer products that have been developed with nanotechnology. 

3. Colloidal Gold Nanoparticle Synthesis and Characterization

   Teaching Materials | 12 Dec 2017 | Contributor(s):: Jared Ashcroft, NACK Network

   Colloidal Gold Nanoparticles are synthesized and characterized using a remote Scanning Electron Microscope provided by the Remotely Accessible Instruments in Nanotechnology (RAIN) Network.

4. Nanotechnology and the NAE Grand Challenge Provide Access to Clean Water

   Teaching Materials | 19 Sep 2017 | Contributor(s):: Edward Davis, Virginia A. Davis, Joni Lakin

   This group of materials is designed to provide a framework to teach students in an introductory engineering course basic nanotechnology concepts. The materials use the NAE grand challenge “Provide Access to Clean Water” to underpin the need and potential for nanotechnology to address...
