A presentation that covers the basics of nano technology.
Slide 1-4 - A maths task helping your high achievers transfer their knowledge of SI to engineering and to help your less able to understand the nano means very small. Also a reading task with a few nano sized facts to consolidate.
Slides 5 - The slow mo guys (two young geeks on you tube) explain the principles of hydrophobic materials with some amazing slow motion videos that usually grab the attention of the students. (As a teaser you can promise to show other slow motion video at the end of the lesson but be careful which ones you choose some covering explosions contain inappropriate language and in others the geeks undertake seriously dangerous/reckless activities.) Whereas others have a much more scientific focus.
Slide 7-9 - The applications covered in brief (tyres, clearcoat and petrol/oil).
Slide 10 - The disadvantages.
The first worksheet asks students to write the definition of nanotechnology and then explain three areas where they might be used in the automotive sector.
The second worksheet is a series of pictures which students can cut and classify into two or more groups of their choice (alone, as a group or with a neighbour.) They then need to annotate on the meaning of each picture.
The powerpoint takes about 10-15 minutes, the students can spend most of the lesson completing the main sorting and annotating task and the answers can be discussed with each table as you wander around the room telling them to stay on task and stop drawing on the tables.....
Every resource is in powerpoint and fully editable. Enjoy.
