NanoExplora: Explore the smallest world

Share this project

NanoExplora offers teachers a set of resources, experiences and teaching proposals based on characteristics and phenomena typical of nanoscience and nanotechnology. It has been designed as an alternative way of teaching the particle model of matter, and is mainly aimed at students between 10 and 14 years old.

The project focuses on the following aspects:

  • Didactic and curricular material: the current curriculum in Catalonia states a group of competences and contents to be achieved in relation to socio-technological evolution and scientific knowledge. In relation to the particle model of matter, a new map of learning progress is proposed, and, with the help of a teacher, will allow students to ask themselves research questions, to reason predictions, and to propose research activities
  • Educational kit: a kit with teaching materials and experimental activities has been designed and produced to work on the main characteristics of nanoscience and nanotechnology
  • NanoExplora web: the virtual space complements the material of the kit, and gathers the theoretical and pedagogical foundations of the proposal, as well as resources and guidance for teachers when implementing the project.
