This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, covers the concept of measurement on the nanoscale. During this exercise, students will learn about the size of a nanometer, converting between nanometers and other units of length, and giving examples of real life...

This demonstration, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, exposes students to the functionality of catalysts on a nanoscale. This lesson is "a great way to introduce or review reactants, catalysts, and adsorption, desorption, and diffusion. Use this demonstration after...

This lesson, from National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, teaches students about the properties of materials. During the lesson, students will learn about superhydrophobic coated materials in contrast to uncoated materials. Ateacher's preparatory guide with lesson diagrams, pictures,...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, covers the concept of relative size. Students will learn that "cells are quite big when compared to nanomaterials" and examine ways to keep nanoparticles from being polluted by larger objects, such as dust. A Teacher's...

This primer on High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HCLC) gives a brief history and definition of liquid chromatography (LC), LC techniques, and defines both HPLC and UltraPerformance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC Technology). The other chapters of the primer are available on the left side of the...
