Naturally Nano
• Iridescence of tropical butterfly wings and peacock feathers are examples of natural ‘nano-photonic’ systems
• Nano structures on their surface reflect light repeatedly leading to interference effects that depend on both wavelength and angle of observance

It was cool and amazing! It was fun as I got
to use my imagination and
work with my friendsIt was
fascinating!
I find it interesting knowing that these things can help
with everyday life
They were practical and you could get
involved

Responses from the students
It was something we had never seen before
& was interestingIt was different & interesting, also it makes me more
curious about nanoscience
More activities please!
more experiments. Current ones were great but more would be fantastic

5 centres provided multiplier training to 131 teachers and explainers
In addition, ASDC also trained 9 secondary teachers2 nanoscientists2 university outreach Science museum London: used nano kit with 17 teachers with science learning centre

The Multiplier effectEach centre trained teachers in their region. -Each teacher was given a nanokit to run nano activities back in school. -Each centre gave out all nano kits to trained teachers who would do activities with 1-4 classes (30 -120 students). Ie another 3000 students
