Nanoscience Education in School Chemistry: Perspectives for Curricular Innovations in Context of an Education for a Sustainable Development

Abstract

Due to its diverse connections to everyday-life, industry and research, nanotechnology provides high potential for science class. For an extensive implementation of Nanoscience Education into the (German) education system, the concept Education for a Sustainable Development offers a suitable educational frame. Beside subject-related contents, ecological, economic and social perspectives for (international) curricular innovations are presented.
