Description: 

“Nanotube Balloons” is a cart activity that introduces visitors to the structure and properties of carbon nanotubes. Visitors learn how the carbon atoms are arranged in a carbon nanotube, and that nanotubes are extremely strong and have interesting electrical properties. During the program, visitors help build a model of a carbon nanotube---out of balloons!
Objectives

Big Idea: 

Carbon nanotubes are a form of carbon with an interesting structure and unique properties.

Learning goals: 

  • Carbon nanotubes are nanoscale molecules with an hexagonal structure.
  • Nanotechnology means working at small size scales, manipulating

NISE Net Content Map: 

  • Scientists and engineers have formed the interdisciplinary field of nanotechnology by investigating properties and manipulating matter at the nanoscale.

Universal design: 

  • Repeat and reinforce main ideas and concepts.
