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.
