Nanotechnology is an area that many of the recent advancements came from. This session will give teachers tools to use at their schools to introduce and add nanotechnology into their classrooms. The use of different size particles will help medicine being delivered at different diffusion rates. This talk will explain how using soidum alginate BBs, food coloring, water and a spectrophotometer could be used to simulate time released drug materials to the body. This activity is a wonderful addition to the tradition chemistry curriculum and could be placed within many topics. These topics included: solutions chapter, kinetics chapter, quantum chapters which talk about the application of specroscopy.
