Description: 

Nano 101 introduces educators to NISE Net’s four big ideas related to nanoscale science, engineering, and technology (“nano”). Related NanoDays activities can be used with this overview presentation to help prepare educators to engage the public in NISE Net educational experiences.
Objectives

NISE Net Content Map: 

  • Nanometer-sized things are very small, and often behave differently than larger things do.
  • Scientists and engineers have formed the interdisciplinary field of nanotechnology by investigating properties and manipulating matter at the nanoscale.
  • Nanoscience, nanotechnology, and nanoengineering lead to new knowledge and innovations that weren't possible before.
  • Nanotechnologies have costs, risks, and benefits that affect our lives in ways we cannot always predict.

Universal design: 

  • Repeat and reinforce main ideas and concepts.
  • Provide multiple entry points and multiple ways of engagement
  • Provide physical and sensory access to all aspects of the program. Visitors can touch, see and hear different elements of the program.
