Overview
Combined Zooms Poster: Everything Is Made of Atoms
Jennifer Frazier [3]
NISE Network product

Description: 

This poster aligns zooms into three familiar objects - a human heart, a butterfly's wing, and a laptop computer. Using the conventions of visual perspective the image travels in one continuous “landscape” from the human scale at the top to the atomic scale in the foreground. As the scale gets smaller and smaller, these disparate objects resolve to individual atoms, highlighting the concept that everything is made of atoms.
Objectives

Learning goals: 

  • All objects are made of atoms Things are made of smaller and smaller parts Objects look similar at the nanoscale.
