Information Literacy & Open Access For Physics And Astronomy Graduate Students, Jackie K. Werner
Information Literacy & Open Access For Physics And Astronomy Graduate Students, Jackie K. Werner
University Library Faculty Presentations
This presentation covers research on the physics and astronomy graduate students’ use and understanding of open access resources. The research, which was conducted in summer 2015, surveyed the physics and astronomy graduate students of Georgia Institute of Technology to discover how graduate students discover open access and other academic resources, as well as their level of awareness about open access in general and specific OA databases in particular. The research also included an interview with the graduate studies advisor in the Physics & Astronomy department Georgia Tech. The presentation also describes open access resources in Physics and Astronomy and relates …
Size Matters, Morton Sternheim
Size Matters, Morton Sternheim
Nanotechnology Teacher Summer Institutes
Size matters in the way materials behave. An introductory PowerPoint and an activity write-up. Three activities illustrate how the surface to volume ratio changes as the size changes. In the first, a deck of playing cards is used to make square arrays of cards of increasing size. Next wooden cubes are used to make similar observations in 3 dimensions. Finally, comparing the rates at which an intact Alka Seltzer tablet and a crushed tablet react in water shows the effect of particle size on chemical reactions.

Nanoscale Thin Films, Rob Snyder
Nanoscale Thin Films, Rob Snyder
Nanotechnology Teacher Summer Institutes
An activity that makes a nanoscale film of oleic acid on water. The student will
-
Learn about Ben Franklin’s observations of a thin film that had a nanoscale dimension.
-
Create a very thin film with a very dilute solution of oleic acid.
-
Use data you collect to determine if you made a thin film with a nanoscale dimension that formed on the surface of water.
-
Learn about the molecular interactions that resulted in the formation of the thin film.
-
Be introduced to the Big Ideas of Nanoscale Self-Assembly

Powers Of Ten: From Meters To Nanometers And Beyond, Rob Snyder
Powers Of Ten: From Meters To Nanometers And Beyond, Rob Snyder
Nanotechnology Teacher Summer Institutes
The goal of this activity is to guide students toward an understanding of nanoscale dimensions by:
-
Making a number of measurements using meter sticks, magnifiers, microscopes and spectrometers so students can make observations and generate their own data.
-
Using scientific notation to compare the measurements they have made with the dimensions of very small structures
