Quantum Dots
This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers the concept of behavior of particles on the nanoscale. Students will learn about exploring the absorption and reflection of light "based on energy levels that are determined by size and bonding arrangements of the materials." A Teacher Preparation Guide, Student Guide, a YouTube video, and Next Generation Science Standards applicable to the lesson are included.
