NIMD: Probing the Nanoworld -- Instructional Materials Development

该项目将开发将纳米尺度科学和工程内容整合到二级STEM课程中的教学材料。拟议的模块将在跨学科的背景下展示纳米科学活动、实验和评估，这些活动与传统的基于标准的力、物质性质、尺度和仪器等主题有关。这些模块旨在作为替代单元，而不是现有课程的补充，并将附有教师指南和专业发展协议。教材开发和课程项目协调方面的专业知识将由中部大陆教育与学习研究（McREL）合作的pis Ristvey和Morrow提供。与斯坦福纳米制造设施（SNF）主任Yoshio Nishi教授及其同事合作，将为开发团队提供内容专业知识。

This project would develop instructional materials for integrating nanoscale science and engineering content into the secondary STEM curriculum. The proposed modules will present nanoscience activities, experiments and assessments in an interdisciplinary context that relates to traditional standards-based topics of force, properties of matter, scale and instrumentation. The modules are intended as replacement units rather than additions to existing curricula and will be accompanied by teacher's guides and a professional development protocol. Expertise in materials development and curriculum project coordination will be provided by the Mid-continent Research for Education and Learning (McREL) Co-PIs Ristvey and Morrow. Collaboration with Prof. Yoshio Nishi, Director of the Stanford Nanofabrication Facility (SNF) and his colleagues will provide content expertise to the development team.
