The pupils learn why geckos can climb up the walls and stick to ceilings, how a chameleon changes its colours or why certain materials do have a memory. On the basis of nano-phenomenas, the physical and chemical basics are explained. Therefore, the experimental kit contains many products such as a flip-flop-colour-spray, a high performance aerogel insulation material and a gecko adhesive foil.\"uebersicht\"<\/p>\n

The \"SimplyNano 2\u00ae<\/sup>\" experimental kit is a follow-up of the \"SimplyNano 1\u00ae<\/sup>\" experimental kit. It can be used independently or in combination with the first kit, as no preknowledge is necessary. The experimental kit is targeted to learners of secondary schools but can also be used for technical colleges and gymnasiums. The entire teaching material for teachers (Power Point slides, teacher comments and sample solutions), experiment instructions for the pupils as well as all required chemicals and consumables are included in the experimental kit.<\/p>\n

During the conceptual design and the realisation of the project, the authors emphasised a high didactical quality, excellent intelligibility of the texts and attractive pictures and illustrative material. The experimental kit was developed by the Innovation Society, St. Gallen and published by the SimplyScience Foundation.<\/p>\n

The roughly 25\u00a0simple experiments are harmless and simple to perform. They can be performed as demo or student experiments. Additionally, the consumables in the experimental kit can be easily replaced. Most products and chemicals are available in retail business or can be reordered directly from the supplier.<\/p>\n

Nanotechnology is already included in many products and applications. The handling of nanomaterials is also part of everyday life in many professions (building industry, automotive industry, chemical industry, \u2026). On the other hand, Nanotechnology is currently not yet part of curricula despite the wide distribution and enormous economic importance. The two \u201eSimplyNano\u201c experimental kits are the only teaching materials for education. Accordingly, the demand by teachers and schools is very high.<\/p>\n

The experiments and the materials of the \"SimplyNano\u00ae<\/sup>\" experimental kits are introduced to teachers within a half-day advanced training course. The teachers obtain one experimental kit for free after the course. The costs for the implementation of the courses and the production of the experimental kits are financed by sponsors. In the past years, 60 teacher advanced training courses were held. The funding of the \u201eSimplyNano 2\u201c experimental kit and the corresponding teacher training courses will be financed by the funding of companies, foundations and private sponsorships. The production and roll-out will start in autumn 2016.<\/p>\n

It is possible to sponsor experimental kits and courses for certain geographical areas (national, regional) or for certain schools (local). For one course a minimal set of 2 experimental kits is necessary. That\u2019s also the ideal size of a class set for schools.\u00a0 We are happy to inform you on compensations, which we can offer our sponsors.<\/p>\n

With your support of the \u201cSimplyNano2\u00ae\u201c experimental project you are supporting an important and lasting contribution to the promotion of science and new technologies\u00a0 for children and youths. If you have any questions, please don\u2019t hesitate to contact us. We look forward to your feedback.<\/p>\n
