Ebook: Welcome to Nanoscience: Interdisciplinary Environmental Explorations, Grades 9-12 - PB296X

What do wrinkle-resistant pants, iPads, and sunscreen all have in common? Nanoscale science and technology, of course. Welcome to Nanoscience helps biology, chemistry, and Earth and environmental science teachers at the secondary level introduce this revolutionary science and technology to their curriculum. The authors begin with historical background, include tips for how to use the book, and tie lessons to National Science Education Standards. The book provides a unique framework for the study of nanoscience through environmental science, specifically groundwater pollution. Each classroom-tested, inquiry-based investigation follows the 5E Instructional Model and includes step-by-step instructions, materials lists, and data charts. Teachers may choose to use individual lessons or adopt the book in its entirety.
