Description: 

"Build a Giant Puzzle!" is a hands-on activity in which visitors assembly large cubes to make nano related images. They learn how different objects are related to nano.
Objectives

Big Idea: 

The way a material behaves on the macroscale is affected by its structure on the nanoscale

Learning goals: 

  • The way a material behaves on the macroscale is affected by its structure on the nanoscale

NISE Net Content Map: 

  • Nanometer-sized things are very small, and often behave differently than larger things do.
  • Nanoscience, nanotechnology, and nanoengineering lead to new knowledge and innovations that weren't possible before.

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.
