Description: 

This program introduces the carbon nanotube, its discovery and applications.
Objectives

Big Idea: 

Carbon nanotubes are a new, cool material that will affect your life.

Learning goals: 

  • familiar with carbon nanotubes
  • understand applications of this material
  • know some of its properties

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: 

  • Provide multiple entry points and multiple ways of engagement
