Ferrofluids as a model of a nanoscale medicine
The goal for your group is to use the materials in the plastic containers to propose methods for delivering a nanoscale medicine to a specific location in the human body.
The activity has been adapted from the November 2006 Science Scope Journal article “Nanomedicine: Problem Solving to Treat Cancer” co-authored by Melissa A. Hemling, Lauren M Samuel, Greta Zenner, Amy C. Payne, and Wendy C. Crone.
There are Three Data Tables
In Data Table #1 you need to describe the effectiveness of medicine delivery devices.
In Data Table #2 you need to compare the behaviors of nanoscale and larger than nanoscale particles in a magnetic field.
In Data Table #3 you need to describe the possible advantages and disadvantages of a medicine that responds to a magnetic field.
