What is a Nanometer?
Source Institutions
This lesson focuses on how to measure at the nanoscale and provides learners with an understanding how small a nanometer really is.

Sugar Crystal Challenge
Source Institutions
This lesson focuses on surface area and how the shape of sugar crystals may differ as they are grown from sugars of different coarseness.

Nano Waterproofing
Source Institutions
This lesson focuses on how nanotechnology has impacted the design and engineering of many everyday items from paint to fabrics.

Working with Watermills
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how watermills have helped harness energy from water through the ages.

How the Rubber Meets the Road
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineers design tire treads to increase safety and reliability.

Working with Wind Energy

Fizzy Nano Challenge
Source Institutions
This lesson focuses on how materials behave differently as their surface area increases.

Be a Scanning Probe Microscope
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate Scanning Probe Microscopes (SPM) and then work in teams using a pencil to explore and identify the shape of objects they cannot see, just as SPMs do at the nano

Engineered Music
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how musical instruments are engineered.
