What??
- “How
Nanostructured Materials Will Make Better Computers,
Stronger Bridges, Cure Cancer and Reduce the Appearance
of Fine Lines and Wrinkles”
Description with your perspective:
A PowerPoint presentation by Diandra L. Leslie-Pelecky,
Department of Physics & Astronomy, Nebraska Center
for Materials & Nanoscience, University of Nebraska.
Good resources to discuss the many applications of
nanoscience, and also review concepts already learned
earlier.
Time Frame: 30-50 min.
- Teaching
Nanotechnology in the High School Curriculum:
Description with your perspective:
Page 5-8 in the teacher guide for the Nanotechnology
curriculum does a good job showing current and future
applications of nanoscience. This source is set up
for a complete high school unit to teach nanotechnology.
Time Frame: 20-30 min.
- Think
Small, An Introduction to Nanotechnology
Description with your perspective:
In this lesson, students explore current applications
of nanotechnology in various industries, including
medicine, space development, environmental protection,
and defense
Time Frame: 50-60 min.
- Converging
Science & Technology at the Nanoscale: Opportunities
for Education and Training
Description with your perspective:
Journal article on the need to provide education
in nanotechnology to our students. “It is estimated
that about 2 million nanotechnology workers will be
needed worldwide by 2015.” Good discussion item.
Time Frame: 10-50 min.
