• Resumen

  • This paper describes an inquiry-based integrated laboratory project for green synthesis, characterization, and applications of silver and gold nanoparticles. In this project, students were able to choose their choice of plant extract as reducing and stabilizing agents, and the students also designed their own experiments. This course gave the students experience conducting research in the fields of analytical chemistry or materials science, which also helped develop their abilities in critical and creative thinking, problem-solving, and laboratory skills.
