NanoScIEnce: It’s No Small Thing Elephants to Atoms
An understanding of scale and scaling effects is of central importance to a scientific understanding of the world. Advances in science are happening at the very small scale (micro and nano) and the very large (cosmic). Join us in exploring how to teach students about the sizes of things and scale. We will build on the natural fascination students have with giants (like dinosaurs) and tiny things (like insects). This workshop will provide participants with the opportunity to examine essential science concepts and use skills by building a bug, and examining the smallest dog on earth, microscopic pond life and giant eggs. The workshop will employ interdisciplinary mathematics and provide science lessons. Teachers will receive the book - Extreme Science: From Nano to Galactic as well as other tools for the classroom. Instructor: Dr. Gail Jones, North Carolina State University’s Math, Science and Technology Education Department Earn 7 Recertification PointsCost $15 - Includes lunch, two breaks and take-away materials!
