Nanoscience Workshop for Teachers: Measurement at the Nanoscale
Measurement at the Nanoscale: How can you measure that which is unobservable to the naked eye? In our Measurements at the Nanoscale experiment, students use the effects of molecules interacting with each other and very simple geometry to indirectly measure nanoscale features. The Nanoscience Workshop for Teachers program demonstrates advanced nanoscience experiments on Saturdays throughout the academic school year for elementary, middle, and high-school teachers from across the greater Los Angeles area. The workshops are designed to give teachers the…
