DESCRIPTION
"Exploring Properties - Heat Transfer" is a hands-on activity in which visitors investigate how quickly heat is transferred through two different materials. They learn that graphene is a very good conductor of heat and that the way a material behaves on the macroscale is affected by its structure on the nanoscale.

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.
Heat flows through different materials at different rates.
NANO 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.
