All secondary schools in Zug are now receiving the “SimplyNano 2” experiment kits.\nNano experiments are designed to get young people interested in science and technology.\nThe project for the canton of Zug started with a teacher training course at Roche Diagnostics International AG in Rotkreuz. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nano experiments with “WOW effect<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nanotechnology is the science of the very small. Due to their special properties, nanomaterials are found in many technical materials, but also in many everyday products such as textiles, cosmetics, paints and medicine.\nWith the SimplyNano learning media, amazing and safe nano experiments can now be carried out at Zug secondary schools.\nAmong other things, learners discover how baby diapers with “superabsorbers” absorb extremely large amounts of liquid, why geckos with nano-structures on their feet can climb up walls or how the “memory effect” works with metals, e.g. in braces.\nAll experiments show the fascinating world of the smallest particles.\nAt the same time, they present concrete applications in everyday products.\nThe case contains materials for 41 experiments and a learning workshop for interdisciplinary use in science and technology lessons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
