| Materials World Modules (MWM) are hands-on, inquiry and design-based units for middle and
high school students. Based on materials science and nanotechnology principles, this interdisciplinary
approach engages students, adds relevance to traditional curriculum, and has been shown to improve science
knowledge for all students. |
