Nanotechnology—Learn to Teach It Effectively
 Middle and high school teachers love this pioneering instructional guide, Nanoscale Science, that offers guided inquiry with open-ended exploration, and 20 investigations that teach students about the unique properties and behavior of materials at the nanoscale—one-billionth of a meter. Organized around five themes—size and scale, tools and techniques, unique properties and behaviors, nanotechnology applications, and societal implications—teachers will find the activities in this book use readily available materials and provide clear background, instructions, and formative assessments. Engage your students with questions like these:
- How small is one in a billion?
- How might manipulating matter at the nanoscale lead to everything from stain-resistant fabrics to tumor-targeting nanoshells?
- How will society change when we use nanolabels to track where people, animals, and materials move around the world?
As a stand-alone text or as a supplement to studies of biology, physics, chemistry, math, and the environment, both teachers and students will find this a fascinating read. Visit the NSTA Science Store for details.
