Repeat the procedure for the different polystyrene diameters and compare the difference in color with the sizes used.
Within a minute or so, you can observe that excess solution accumulates at the bottom of the slide.
Tilt the solution around so that it covers the slide without leaving any gap.

100+ Network of Schools & Teachers being trained to incorporate NSE into their classrooms.
Components of PDNCLT Professional Development is designed to: Provide content to enhance teachers’ understanding of
nanoscience Introduce teachers to inquiry and design-based
methods Provide a collection of NSE instruction materials Assist teachers in developing their own nanoscience
activities and projects for the classroom

NCLT – NISE Collaborations
NCLT Developers post curricula and online simulations on NanoEd Portal for students to learn more about NSE using the example of gold nanoshells
NISE Network is developing exhibits on NanoMedicine - such as gold nanoshells.
