Summary
Now, back to the question "Does size matter?"- I hope that by the end of this unit it is evident that in the world on nanoscale, size really does matter. The unique thing about this unit and this topic specifically is that my students will have the opportunity to gain the background knowledge to apply what they have learned across the curriculum. We have discussed principals of geometry, physics, physical science, chemistry, and of course biology. As the students complete these units, they are developing their skills of inquiry as well as gaining a broader understanding of the structure and function of living organisms and the world around them. The students should be able to apply these concepts toward the higher level courses that they will take beyond biology. The most important thing that I want my students to take away from this unit is that even though nanotechnology as a science is relatively new, it already had practical applications in our lives, which will continue to grow in importance with time.
