Making Stuff Small
The base that is used in the “Making Stuff” is to bring to its viewers manner that one is will make stuff much rigid, neater and smarter.
Slide 1: NOVA’s Making Stuff
The NOVA team has joined into a partnership with materials Research Society so as to bring to viewers a series containing a national educational outreach promotion so as to create an appreciation of the material aspect of the world in everybody. The series offers the viewer the learning points and how one may become part of it.
Slide 2: What is Making Stuff?
NOVA’s series about Making Stuff is a benchmark to a stringent national promotion, which engages in operation in the country and the advancement and allocation of free academic resources.
Slide 3: What is material Science?
Material science is the focus on stuff. It is each and everything that we use daily; clothes, dishes, computer are composed of materials, materials that are natural. A scientist in the materials look into the manner that materials are integrated, the mode of application, manner they may be altered and manner how advancing them to accomplish much better things. The scientists similarly bring about materials that have not been these initially (PBS.org, 2012). Some of the material scientists are termed to as ceramic or polymer engineers, and may be acquired from institutions of higher learning and countries.
There are many materials and as they are formed and integrated in improved manner, the size will go on to be higher. A number of these materials are appropriate in the limited groupings: metals, ceramics and polymers among others.
Slide 5: Why Stuff?
The reason as to why these materials are of keen focus is that they are a base for civilization. One ought to think about anything that they heard about not so long ago.
Slide 6: Television Series
Making Stuff is a series takes place Wednesday at 9Pm (EST); stronger, smaller, cleaner and smarter.
Slide 7: Making Stuff Episodes
In the series, NOVA looks into the material science based on four aspects; stronger, smaller, cleaner and smarter.
Stronger: What does it mean to be strong?
This episode is based on the pursuit for the globe’s strongest stuff. The series enquires if iron is the toughest, if Kevlar or carbon nanotubes are of the future or will it be substituted by steel based on the attributes. David Pogue looks into viewers getting to know what strength is all about.
Smaller: How small can we go?
This section looks to acquire knowledge on how small things may be made to be. The success by minute things is visible everywhere: transistors, laptops and mobile phones.
Cleaner: How can we clean the world?
This section looks into the manner one may be involved in making the world cleaner. Batteries come from virus, tires from orange skin among other application s. these are ways that materials make the world stronger. The host looks into the fast advancing science and business of pure energy and focuses on other options to produce it, keep it and dispense it.
Smarter: Can we create materials which will react to the surrounding?
This section looks into getting to know what nature makes us learn regarding creating smarter things. Are we able to create things that make logic and react to the surrounding? Smarter helps us to focus on emerging things that model themselves- responding, transforming and getting educated.
The National Outreach Campaign
Making stuff main objective is to turn the viewers into action people in the science world; NOVA is engaged in association with schools, universities and business on a global outreach promotion. Activities will be formed in the month of Making Stuff (PBS.org, 2012). This is to bring about chances for the young and academicians to look into the material science.
