Nanoscience is a burgeoning field in the science world, and scientists get inspiration for nanotechnology from nature. In this lesson students will learn what nano is and what nano-sized adaptations animals have in nature. Students will use their observational skills to discover the nano-secret of the Blue Morpho butterfly.

A virtual visit to Brookhaven’s Science Learning Center will excite and engage students in grades 1 to 5. Young scientists can enjoy discovery-based, hands-on learning experiences centered on a variety of scientific principles.

Session Information:
-Flexible instruction for whether students are in the classroom or at home
-Interactive, instructor-led session facilitated with students using materials from school or home (can also be demonstration-based if students do not have access to materials)
