During the funding period of the UW-Madison NSEC, ICE hosted RET programs. Participating teachers worked with NSEC education and outreach staff, faculty, and graduate students to produce nanoscience curriculum materials for use in their classrooms.
The teachers who participated in RET and their projects are:
Maynard Morin of Higham High School, Higham, Massachusetts developed this working model of a scanning probe microscope as a part of his RET program.
- Nanoscience in Nature: A Webquest (grades 5–8)
Jeanne Nye, Lake Mills Middle School, Lake Mills, Wisconsin - Middle School Self Assembly (grade 7)
Peter Watts, Watertown High School, Watertown, Wisconsin - Physical Properties of Nanostructures (grades 9–12)
