Big news about teaching the small stuff
COSMOS magazine and the Australian government have created a splendid new education resource for teachers – and its free.
COSMOS magazine – together with the Federal Department of Industry, Innovation, Science and Research – have created a fabulous new education resource: the Nanotechnology Super Science Guide. TechNyou get a mention because of our links with DIISR.
Written by our fabulous science teachers Kate Anderson and Sally Parker and designed for use in the classroom, this 64-page guide will bring out the imagination, creativity and independent learning in your students.
It uses enquiry-based approaches and proven pedagogical methodology to maximise engagement and involvement of students in their learning. And it offers both variety and flexibility of use for the differentiated classroom.
Where to get it
You can read the online e-book version of the Nanotechnology Super Science Guide now, or you can download the free PDF version for later use in the classroom.
The PDF is also be available for download on TechNyou’s web site.

This is a fantastic initiative and one we will encourage education authorities around the world to follow. As the world’s only hub for ‘all things related to naotechnology’ we passionately believe educating the future geenrations about the potential of nanotechnology to do so much good in the world is vital. Right now we see an insufficient number of experts in the field to meet future demand, so anything that engages and educates pupils is laudable. In fact pupils and teachers are welcome to register on our site – its free – to keep up to date with news from all corners of the earth.
