Exploring the Nanoworld Kit

The Exploring the Nanoworld Kit is based on a 32-page color activity booklet that places the nanoscale in context and includes a dozen experiments for you to try.

The kit includes a light emitting diode and flashlight, a magnifying glass, a diffraction slide, a refrigerator magnet, a memory metal wire, and a fiber optic.

To order a kit contact the Institute for Chemical Education.
Unfortunately the Institute for Chemical Education at the University of Wisconsin Madison shut down during COVID and has not reopened.

This kit was created by George C. Lisensky (Beloit College), Karen J. Nordell (Lawrence University), S. Michael Condren (Christian Brothers University), Cynthia G. Widstrand (University of Wisconsin-Madison), Diana Malone (Clarke College), and Arthur B. Ellis (University of Wisconsin-Madison.)
