The curriculum modules, entitled A NANOLEAP INTO NEW SCIENCE, will include student activities, experiments, and assessments for use as replacement units in high school physical science and chemistry courses. The materials will promote student learning of the interdisciplinary nanoscale core concepts of force (physics) as it relates to properties of matter (chemistry), scale (mathematics), scientific instrumentation (technology), and processes (inquiry). Teacher guides and professional development opportunities will address the varied needs of the science education community and ensure effective classroom implementation.
