The students do a chemical laboratory activity in which they make nanoparticles and filter them to determine their relative sizes.
|
With a quick, simple and safe procedure to make silver nanoparticles, students can design their own experiments to test their effectiveness as an antimicrobial agent.
|
In this experiment students use stamps made from poly(dimethylsiloxane)(PDMS) to pattern silver on a glass or plastic surface, generating interesting and useful designs.
|
Students investigate microfluidics and how the properties of liquids differ at this scale. They learn about how this new technology offers tremendous promise to developments in chemistry, biology and medicine.
|
Students learn about atomic force microscopy (AFM) and examine five different samples of chocolate. Students use AFM images of the chocolate to examine crystal size, study the samples' appearance, and taste the chocolate.
