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 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 book is provided by the National Academy of Sciences and discusses research on how people learn. "First released in the Spring of 1999, How People Learn has been expanded to show how the theories and insights from the original book can translate into actions and practice, now making a real...

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...

The Tabletop Explainer presents this video showing what you need and how to build an electric motor.  It also explains how an electric motor works. This activity can be used with students in a classroom or as a student/class activity or project.
