Description: 

At the Nanoscale is a static component that aims to show just how super small one billionth of a meter, or one nanometer, really is. A Billion Beads is an activity where visitors inspect tubes that hold quantities of one thousand tiny beads, one million beads, and one billion beads. To the naked eye, the tube containing one thousand beads appears nearly empty. Visitors see that the next tube, partially filled, contains one million beads. Finally, to compare, a four-foot tall container nearly full contains approximately one billion beads. This component is mounted to the backside of the Intro to Nanotechnology video kiosk.
Objectives

Big Idea: 

Things at the nanoscale are super small.

NISE Net Content Map: 

  • Nanometer-sized things are very small, and often behave differently than larger things do.

Universal design: 

  • Provide multiple entry points and multiple ways of engagement
