This lab is designed to help students understand the size of nanoparticles compared to the size of other known quantities, such as a human being or a skin cell.
This lab is designed to help students understand how very small measurements can be made (even at the nanoscale) and how the accuracy of those measurements affects their results.
The NACK Network offers a live webinar, hosted by MATEC NetWorks, every month to engage and educate those of you that are interested in learning more about nanotechnology related topics.
Students will synthesize and prepare serial dilutions of gold and silver nanoparticles in order to determine their individual toxicity on brine shrimp. The brine shrimp are used as a model organism to examine the potential toxicity effects of nanoparticles.
