Metric Week
October 6-12, 2013
Nanotechnology is now one of the standards in education. Using the conventional language of science, students need to be able to describe the size of a nanometer and make size comparisons of nano-sized objects with other small objects. To accomplish this, students must be familiar with atoms, molecules, and cells. Students also need to have knowledge of basic units of the metric system and prefixes, as well as the ability to manipulate exponential and scientific notation. We have included a short test on measurement and nanotechnology with our metric packet in 2013.
We think it is important that everyone is notified of Metric Week 2013 in South Carolina. Information on all of the above can be found at the following site:
