Your overall experience at the workshops
2.Please rate your response to the following questions:
Not at all
A little
Somewhat
Very
After completing this program, do you feel prepared to teach your students topics in nanoscience and nanotechnology?
Do you feel confident bringing a nanoscience and nanotechnology experiment (from any source) into your class curriculum?
Were you given the tools and support infrastructure to enable you to teach science fundamentals (or standards) in a more stimulating fashion?
3.Please rate how well you understand the following nanoscience concepts:
Not at all
A little
Somewhat
Very well
Nanostructures have very large surface to volume ratios
The surface determines the properties for most nanomaterials
Different forces dominate at the nanometer scale
Nanomaterials can dissolve without breaking into their atomic or molecular components
Surfaces coated with nanostructures have unique interactions with liquids
Electrons move differently within small structures
Nanostructures are of similar sizes to cellular components and therefore they interact with cells in unique ways
4.Please rate how well you can describe the following expected impacts of nanoscience and nanotechnology to your students:
Not at all
A little
Somewhat
Very well
Nanomaterials are important for solving the energy crisis
Nanoscience is important for medicine
There are nanostructures inside all the microchips in computers and electronic devices
