Booklet
Description
 In this lesson we take a trip to the Mars and then come back to the Earth and go to nano scale. When we go down to nano scale from 0 to 100 nanometer, some behaviors will change. For example, if we have small groups of gold molecules, we can change their color. Gold may have colors like red, purple or blue in ranges from 0 to 100 nm. In these scales, materials show fascinating properties. Let’s go.
Mental Challenge
 How can we travel to the Mars by an elevator?
