Template for teacher's documentation
Overview The documentation contains the collection and description of all activities that aroused as results of participating to NANOYOU. For example, it could include follow up activities in the teacher's own school, in other education sectors or with another age-group of students or the implementation of optional courses to nanotechnologies. Furthermore the NANOYOU activities and the interest in nanotechnologies could spill over to neighbour- or partner schools and the teachers of the pilot schools are invited to present their activities.

Nanoday, 21/04/2010 This day all the lessons in grade 10 classes (3 classes, 86 students at the age 16-17) were devoted to nanotechnologies. Each class had 7 lessons for 40 minutes a day. The sequence and the content of lessons were corrected depending on the school schedule and a subject which a class had at that time according to the schedule. In each class 2 students were beforehand prepared to help and assist teachers in conducting lessons. These pupils were called NanoYou Profi and were wearing specially made T-shirts.
