Creating Research Links between Science at the Nanoscale and Science Education
28 Feb 2006 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Nora H. Sabelli
This talk will address what is needed to reduce the gap between current science education and science education that incorporates the ideas in current nanoscience. The ability to manipulate matter at increasingly smaller scales of distance and time has blurred the boundaries between disciplines. As a consequence, it increases the science literacy requirements of both workforce and citizenry. This seminar will discuss what we need to do to tackle successfully the educational implications of technology-derived fundamental changes in science.
