Description: 

What is Nanomedicine? This is the introductory component for the Nanomedicine exhibit package. The structure includes a text panel and a narrated-and-captioned 2.5 minute video which plays on demand in either English or Spanish on a 32-inch LCD screen. The video's colorful animation and researcher commentary complements the accompanying text panel to provide a brief overview of some of the basic ideas and goals of nanomedicine.
Objectives

Big Idea: 

Researchers in nanomedicine work in interdisciplinary teams to develop novel and much improved techniques of diagnosis, treatment, and repair through the application of nanotechnology, the science and engineering of tiny materials and devices that can work on the scale of the molecules and cells that make up our bodies. All these new nanomedicine materials, devices and techniques need to go through years of testing to prove that they are safe as well as effective.

Learning goals: 

  • Nanomedicine is the applicaton of nanotechnology to medicine.
  • Nanotechnology is the science of the small and the engineering and applications of very small structures.
  • The building blocks are molecules and atoms.
  • Most of the components of our cells are nanoscale objects.
  • Nanomedicine researchers develop tiny tools that can work with extreme precision at the nanoscale.
  • Nanotechnology has created many materials with unique and distinctive features - providing a new "toolbox" to try to address many medical needs. These include delivering drugs to the right place and avoiding biological barriers.
  • These challenges require the coordinated efforts of interdisciplinary teams - many such teams are already at work.
  • Each technique will need to go through years of testing to ensure that it will work and that it will be safe.

Universal design: 

  • Repeat and reinforce main ideas and concepts.
