Taking Kenan to My Students (Nanotechnology in 7th Grade)

I was so happy to learn so much over the summer to take back to my students. This year IF we have leadership classes as an elective, I will present the One Health challenge to my students through a year-long class. My vision is to use the lessons and demonstrations created by my Kenan Fellows. The nanotechnology lessons are challenge-based learning techniques embedded in lessons and demonstrations.

Over the summer, I also created three lessons to add the the One Health Assist collection, one using the TI sensor tag, one using LittleBits circuits, and the last one is a solar power presentation. All three lessons will be presented to my 7th grade students this fall. Once the presentations are complete, I will be able to reflect on the entire process of designing and implementing nanotechnology lessons. The students will blog on their experience with the presentations to assist with improvements needed for future presentations. Please come back to check out pictures of the students’ learning in November.
