Graphene Sheet

Get kids excited about science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM) with this fun hands-on collaborative project. Typically done during a Family Math Night event, this project can also be done in the classroom. The best part is, each person is individually represented in the final product!

Participants will learn about the strongest and thinnest material known to man - graphene. They will learn how it is composed solely of carbon atoms and then design their own "carbon atoms" which will be used to construct a model of the molecular structure of graphene.

Items included:
• list of materials needed
• mathematical background
• scientific background
• mathematical vocabulary
• table tent with step-by-step directions
• Graphene Sheet Collaborative Project - one experiment
• Graphene Sheet Collaborative Project - two experiments
• Graphene Sheet Collaborative Project - three experiments
• Graphene the Wonder Material Informational table tent
• graphene experiments activity sheet
• carbon atoms and bonds template
• classroom engineering challenge
