Nanotechnology and Cancer Treatments

Content Provider	TeachEngineering: STEM curriculum for K-12
Author	Bell, Michelle Spolarich, Amber
Copyright Year	2013
Description	Students learn about the biomedical use of nanoparticles in the detection and treatment of cancer, including the use of quantum dots and lasers that heat-activate nanoparticles. They also learn about electrophoresis—a laboratory procedure that uses an electric field to move tiny particles through a channel in order to separate them by size. Students learn about the biomedical use of nanoparticles in the detection and treatment of cancer, including the use of quantum dots and lasers that heat-activate nanoparticles. They also learn about electrophoresis—a laboratory procedure that uses an electric field to move tiny particles through a channel in order to separate them by size. They complete an online virtual mini-lab, with accompanying worksheet, to better understand gel electrophoresis. This prepares them for the associated activity—to write draft research proposals to use nanoparticles to protect against, detect or treat skin cancer.
