Publisher:

National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network

Description: Nanotechnology is an area of science and engineering that occurs at the atomic and molecular level. This is certainly a difficult concept to grasp. This website, presented by The National Infrastructure Network, highlights many critical concepts to understanding this smaller scale. By using a product called "Magic Sand," the activity "will explore how the properties of a substance at the molecular level affects the way that it reacts and behaves." Additionally, students will explore nanotechnology as an emerging and interdisciplinary field. The experiment will show students how developments in the field can improve devices, materials, and structures we use on a daily basis. A student and teacher guide is provided with the lab. Overall, this is a great exercise for any science classroom interested in the workings of nanotechnology.
