| How Do You Build Something So Small?: Nanofabrication • This video is from a live presentation which Mike Deal from the Stanford Nanofabrication Facility gave to classes as part of a remote access activity. The video introduces the processes involved in nanofabrication and the reasons a very clean environment is needed for building materials, devices and machines at the nanoscale. Use after chemistry module unit 1. + Play Movie (Flash:13:25 min.)* |

||
| A NanoLeap into the Atomic Force Microscope • Physical Science & Chemistry Video • Used in Lesson Six of the Physical Science unit, this video engages students with a demonstration of how an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) is used to image the surface of a DVD. + Play Movie (QT: 5 min., 15 MB) |
 |
||
| Magnetic Probe Model • Physical Science & Chemistry Video • Used in Chemistry Lesson 1.3 and in Physical Science Lesson 7, this video provides students with a demonstration of how to make their own model of a magnetic probe. + Play Movie (QT: 1:05 min., 2 MB) |

||
| NanoScale Me • Interactive Media for use with Physical Science (Lesson Five) and Chemistry (Lesson One) • Students manipulate images on the computer and arrange them according to size using known landmarks. + Play Interactive* |
 |
||
| Nanoparticle Builder • Interactive Media (Flash) for use with Chemistry Lesson Two • Students build nanoclusters in layers, observe a 3-D representation of that nanocluster, observe the data on the properties of the cluster, and draw conclusions from their observations. + Play Interactive* |
