Forms of Carbon

In this activity, educators can demonstrate how the nanoscale arrangement of atoms dramatically impacts a materialï¿½ï¿½_s macroscale behavior. Learners investigate the structure and properties of four different forms of carbon. During the program, learners interact with models of four different forms of carbon. Learners also observe the conductivity of graphite (using a simple circuit and an everyday pencil) and the hardness of diamond (using a...
