Nano you: a resource for teachers
Nanoyou web site, an EU-funded project, is an educational portal for secondary teachers to help teach nanotech – contains activities, lab pracs and video.
I have yet to have a thorough look through this site, but for secondary teachers and students, and I guess anyone wanting the basic nanotech 101 intro, then it is a good start.
Nanoyou web site is an EU-funded project and is developed as an educational portal with a bunch of online resources for teachers. There is a virtual lab and other hands-on activities and a video that is pretty good. The video’s content has the same explanation that many other “intro to nano” videos or resources such as our own Access Nano do, but with a slicker production and probably a few more Euros behind them as they have Stephen Fry narrating it. I do disagree with one comment he made that we apparently now have an understanding of how things work at the nano scale and are using this understanding to make stuff useful to us. I would suggest we have but a mere inkling of an understanding. There are plenty of big dreams about nano’s potential, however, and there is no shortage of talk about the potential of nano on this video and site.
