Did You Know? Nanotech Workshop (Introductory Level)

Nanotechnology touches many facets of our lives and all areas of science, yet we are still learning about its potential impact.

In this workshop, students explore the benefits, risks and challenges of this new frontier. They learn what “nano” means and how some substances behave differently at the nano scale.
For instance, gold's melting point drops and
copper no longer conducts electricity well.

Students experiment with paper and clothing to explore the wonders of nanotechnology, discover why nanoparticles pose health concerns, and engage in a unique LEGO competition to simulate challenges of working at the nano scale. At the end, students demonstrate what they learned in a lightening round quiz!

No prior knowledge of nanotechnology is required.
