What is NanoSense?
The NanoSense project (2004-2008) addressed the
question of how to teach nanoscale science at the high school level.
Working closely with scientists and educators,
the project created, tested, and disseminated 4
curriculum units to help high
school teachers and students understand nanoscale science. The project
hosted workshops to introduce teachers
to the materials, and held working meetings with experts and
practitioners to identify and clarify major concepts and learning goals
for nanoscience education.
NanoSense materials were developed by SRI International, with
support from the National Science Foundation under Grant No. ESI-0426319.
