The concept of surface-to-volume ratio is of fundamental importance in Nanotechnology,especially in applications involving chemical catalysis and nucleation of physical processes. An educational module has been developed to teach the concept of surface-to-volume ratio taking advantage of the commonplace process of bubble formation in Perrier and Seltzer water an its enhancement through the effects of nucleation points of different sizes, ranging from millimeters to micrometers to nanometers, on ...
