Cutting it Down to Nano
Source Institutions
This simple activity uses paper and scissors to convey two key concepts to learners: the nanoscale is very small and working on the nanoscale requires special tools.
Shake and Make: Charge Recognition
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 10), learners explore how molecules self-assemble according to forces of attraction and repulsion.
Nano Latch-n-Catch
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners design a therapeutic agent to image and/or cure various diseases in the respiratory system.
Disease Detectives
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners examine antibodies and antibody recognition using a model.
3D-ection: Molecular Shape Recognition
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 12), learners explore how molecules self-assemble and how molecules must fit together, like a lock and key, in order to identify each other and initiate a new function as a comb
Exploring the Nanoworld with LEGO Bricks: Structures at the Nanoscale
Source Institutions
In this activity (pages 7-16), learners model various crystal structures with LEGOs. This activity also contains additional links that explain how to create other crystal structures.
Shrinking Cups
Source Institutions
This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Gecko Feet Activity) about the forces of gravity and surface tension and how their behavior is influenced by size.
Exploring Properties: Surface Area
Source Institutions
This hands-on activity demonstrates how a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.
