| Summary |
Futurists predict that nanotechnology will be the next major scientific revolution?one with an even greater impact than the Industrial Revolution. Nanoscale Science will help your middle and high school students understand the big implications of tiny technology. Using guided inquiry with open-ended exploration where possible, the book?s 20 investigations teach students about the unique properties and behavior of materials at the nanoscale?one-billionth of the size of a meter. |
