1 Nanotechnology & “Smart Textiles”
FACS - TLC

2 What are some things that you don’t like about your clothes?

3 Possible Clothing Issues:
Shrink Fade Stain Odor Color Too Big Too Small Too Hot Too Cold Wrinkles

4 All of these issues can be “fixed” through Nanotechnology!

5 Applications of Nanotechnology include:
Stain/odor-free clothing & carpet Bug-repellant clothing Military uniforms that change color to match the environment Light weight bullet-proof vests Clothing that scans your body for a perfect fit Etc....

6 Nanotechnology: is a complex field combining science (biology, chemistry & physics), information technology (computer programming), engineering (electronics & design) and mathematics.

7 Nanotechnology: "Nano" is a Greek word for small or dwarf. A nanometer is one billionth of a meter. Nanometers are so small that 150,000 of them fit across the width of a strand of human hair!

8 Nanotechnology: Is not only being used for clothes, but in many different industries including medical, defense and aviation. Working in nanotechnology requires working with very small materials and devices.

9 Team Activity Read assigned nanotechnology article and view on-line video Complete worksheet Choose a team leader Team leader present findings to class when instructed to do so by teacher

10 Listening Skills Review
Look at, and listen to the speaker No talking or doodling Sit up straight Nod for understanding

11 Presentation Skills Review
Don’t cover your face with your paper Stand still and straight Speak clearly and loudly Don’t rush, speak slowly Don’t distract from the topic

12 Individual Activity Complete Nanotechnology Presentation Worksheet during team leader presentations

13 Review Points Nanotechnology is a new and growing field
Courses to take in jr. high and high school to prepare for a nanotechnology career include: Science (biology, chemistry, physics) Math Information Technology (computer programming) Health Sciences (biotechnology) Technology (electronics, engineering & drafting)
