AVAILABLE TEACHING RESOURCES
*By accessing this material, you agree to the NACK Center's Terms of Use.

Post Secondary Resources

Introductory Level Modules: A series of thought-provoking nanotechnology PowerPoint presentations filled with in-depth material surveying where nanotechnology came from, why it is so unique, how it is practiced, and what it can do.

Undergraduate Level Course - Classroom Presentations: Packaged as six courses, each containing multiple modules. Each module can be rearranged to create new courses. Suitable for two-year degree programs, for certificate programs, and for freshman-sophomore use in four-year degree programs.

Undergraduate Level Course - Laboratory Activities: These are a set of six lab packages corresponding to the set of six course notes. Labs can be rearranged to accommodate new course arrangements. Suitable for two-year degree programs, for certificate programs, and for freshman-sophomore use in four-year degree programs.

Multimedia: A collection of interactive multimedia in nanotechnology. These resources are suitable for a variety of levels and subject areas. 

Remote Access: A collection of characterization equipment that may be remotely controlled through the Internet.

K-12 Resources

Introductory Level Activities: Interactive nano-enabled products used to expand the imaginations of K-12 students with current applications benefiting from nanotechnology.

High School Level Nanotech Academy Activities: A collection of informal activities created for a 1-3 day nanotechnology camp available to those interested in creating simliar events or to supplement the classroom experience.

High School Level Experiments: A collection of experiments and activities that introduce nanotechnology concepts and applications to many levels; includes, but is not limited to, nanoparticle synthesis for bacterial inhibition, micro- and nanofluidic device fabrication with common materials, micro- and nanoencapsulation, and nanowire sensor applications.

Multimedia: A collection of interactive multimedia in nanotechnology. These resources are suitable for a variety of levels and subject areas. 

Remote Access: A collection of characterization equipment that may be remotely controlled through the Internet.
