Module Flow Chart Lesson 1. 1 What is Nanoscience? Examine and Compare size: macro, micro, submicro (nano) SI prefixes Lesson 1. 2 What Makes Nanoscience so Different? Lesson 1. 3 What Makes Nanoscience so Important? What makes Nanoscience so different? Compare Newtonian and Quantum Chemistry Regimes as they relate to nanoscale science Interdisciplinary science The development of new technologies and instrumentation applications whose risk and benefits have yet to be determined Lesson 2. 2 Extendable Solids: Reactivity, Catalysis, Adsorption Lesson 2. 3 Extendable Structures: Melting Point, Color Conductivity Poster Assessment Students will further investigate the essential question that they have considered throughout the module: How and why do the chemical and physical properties of nanosamples differ from those of macrosamples? Lesson 3. 1 Carbon Chemistry Lesson 2. 1 Extendable Solids As the size of the sample decreases the ratio of surface particles to interior particles increases in ionic and metallic solids Lesson 3. 2 Fullerenes and Nanotubes The difference between the energy at the surface atoms and energy of the interior atoms results in increased surface energy at the nanoscale Higher surface energy allowing for increased reactivity, adsorption, and catalysis at the nanoscale Extendable Structures: Reactivity, Catalysis, Adsorption © Mc.
