Description: 

"Exploring Materials - Nano Gold" is a hands-on activity in which visitors discover that nanoparticles of gold can appear red, orange or even blue. They learn that a material can act differently when it’s nanometer-sized.
Objectives

Big Idea: 

A material can act differently when it’s nanometer-sized.

Learning goals: 

  • A material can act differently when it’s nanometer-sized.

NISE Net Content Map: 

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

Universal design: 

  • Repeat and reinforce main ideas and concepts.
  • Provide multiple entry points and multiple ways of engagement

Ordering more nano gold [24]

Submitted by KC [25] on Mon, 02/06/2012 - 13:47.

When ordering more nano gold from NanoComposix, you'll be asked which capping agent you want to use. The gold supplied in the 2012 kits used Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as the capping agent.
