Nanoscience research modules for pre-service STEM teachers : core nanoscience concepts as a vehicle in STEM education

STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) is a fairly new concept in American education. As separate subjects, science and math have been around for a long time but have rarely been taught as a seamless unit of skills; rather as discreet content areas. This is not how the real world ou...
