Scanning Probe Microscopy

Abstract

Lesson: Scanning Probe Microscopy: "feeling" what you can't see at the nanometer scale Standards:HS-PS1-3. Plan and conduct an investigation to gather evidence to compare the structure of substances at the bulk scale to infer the strength of electrical forces between particles.HS-PS2-6. Communicate scientific and technical information about why the molecular-level structure is important in the functioning of designed materials.HS-PS2-1. Analyze data to support the claim that Newton's second law of motion describes the mathematical relationship among the net force on a macroscopic object, its mass, and its acceleration.HS-ETS1-2. Design a solution to a complex real-world problem by breaking it down into smaller, more manageable problems that can be solved through engineering.
