Nanotechnology in the High School Curriculum: From Energy Conversion to Science Ethics What Is All the Fuss About Nanotechnology? Any given search engine will produce 1.6 million hits Nanotechnology is on the way to becoming the FIRST trillion dollar market Nanotechnology influences almost every facet of every day life such as security and medicine. Does Nanotechnology Address Teaching Standards? Physical science content standards 9-12 Structure of atoms Structure and properties of matter Chemical reactions Motion and forces Conservation of energy and increase in disorder (entropy) Interactions of energy and matter Does Nanotechnology Address Teaching Standards? History and nature of science standards Science as a human endeavor Nature of scientific knowledge Historical perspective Does Nanotechnology Address Teaching Standards? Nanotechnology Idea Standard it can address The idea of “Nano” – being small Structure of Atoms Nanomaterials have a high surface area (nanosensors for toxins) Structure and properties of matter, Personal and Community Health Synthesis of nanomaterials and support chemistry (space propulsion) Chemical Reactions Shape Memory Alloys Motion and Forces, Abilities of technological design, Understanding about science and technology Nanocrystalline Solar Cells Conservation of Energy and increase in disorder (entropy), Interactions of energy and matter, Natural Resources Nanocoatings resistive to bacteria and pollution Personal and Community Health, Population Growth, Environmental Quality, Natural and human-induced hazards i Does Nanotechnology Address Teaching Standards? Nanotechnology Idea Standard it can address Nanomaterials, such as MR (magneto-resistive) fluids in security Science and technology in local, national, and global challenges Richard P. Feynman’s talk, “There is plenty of room at the bottom”. Feynman had a vision. Science as a human endeavor, Nature of scientific knowledge, Historical perspective Nanoco
