1. How Dry am I? Exploring Biomimicry and Nanotechnology

   01 Dec 2016 | | Contributor(s):: Elizabeth Davenport, Nancy Healy, NNCI Nano

   Through a series of activities, students will explore superhydrophobic properties of materials. This inquiry based lesson leads them through activities that has them compare and contrast physical properties of superhydrophobic coated materials with uncoated materials. In the process they will...

2. An Easy (Bake) Approach to an Edible NanoLab

   01 Dec 2016 | | Contributor(s):: Joseph Nunn, NNCI Nano

   The purpose of the lesson is to get young students interested in basic nanotechnology  concepts associated with creating “wafers” used in chip fabrication in cleanrooms.  Cleanrooms are used to make nanoscale devices with the most common ones being chips used in electronic...

3. Small Scale Stenciling: Mask Lab

   05 Apr 2016 | | Contributor(s):: Marilyn Garza, NNCI Nano

   This lab is analogous with some nanofabrication processes. This lab will help students understand some of the challenges encountered while making semiconductor chips and waveguides, both of which are found in electronic circuits.  The content is appropriate for students in middle school or...
