Gen-Nano Standalone Games
- Conductivity Sorter
Topic: Nanotubes.
The conductivity of a nanotube depends on its chirality - n,m values. Kids are to figure out this connection and sort nanotubes as a semi-conductor or a metal. - Scale Explorer
Topic: Size and Scale.
A great way to introduce the notion of size and scale. User moves the slider to see how a familiar object looks on macro, micro and nano scale. - Sort the Samples
Topic: Size and Scale.
The concept of relative size is explained in a fun interactive form. After learning the sorting principles, user gets one minute to sort objects on the scale.
Resources for Teachers / Parents
Teaching middle school or high school students? From this page you can launch generation-nano games and simulations in their standalone versions. These can be played in class or used as homework assignments. We will soon be adding instructional materials to help you plan out your lessons on underlying concepts of nanotechnology using generation-nano activities.
We also suggest that you should check out a selection of K-12 resources on the NanoHUB.org. Use these resources to help kids understand what nanotechnology is and how it may impact their lives.
