NANO DAY At The Lancaster Science Factory Saturday, March 28, 10am - 3pm Explore nanoscience and
nanotechnology through hands-on activities and family-friendly presentations.
Kids and adults can explore measurement, structure and properties of materials
on a tiny scale. Guests will measure their height in nanometers, create
buckyballs, experiment with ferrofluid and liquid crystals, and investigate
gravity and surface area on a nano (one-billionth of a meter) scale. Nanoscience
demonstrations and activities will be offered at no additional charge to Science
Factory visitors who pay general admission. NanoDay is cosponsored by
the Lancaster Science Factory and Cornell University.
Nearly 300 visitors to the Lancaster Science Factory had the
opportunity to participate in our first Nano Day. Kids and adults alike
were drawn to the many hands-on activities, many of whom mentioned they were
studying nanoscience in school. We hope to continue these demonstrations
in schools and to co-sponsor another Nano Day next year
