2015 Nanoscale Microscopy Lab - Final Presentation

Guidelines for the Final Presentation

1.Team of three, one for each role as follow:
1.Introduction of team and the science question, and the relevance of the knowledge
2.Introduce how current scientists are approaching that question
3.Explain your teams approach and imaging techniques and what new insights can be provided
2.Each team has 5 minutes to present, and additional 5 minutes for Q&A from audience

2015 Nanoscale Microscopy Lab - Homework Assignment

Your homework assignment guidelines are as follow:

Write a blog each day, summarizing your progress on the final project
Monday: science topic of interest and why, what is the state-of-art in this research topic?
Tuesday: what questions would you ask in this topic?
Wednesday: What imaging techniques would you use to answer the question?
Thursday: What insights can be provided from your technique

Guidelines
1.250+ words, with 2-3 images, 3-5 references
2.Distillation
Explain the science you learn
Ask questions
Make proposals
4.Follow: CNSI High School Nanoscience

2015 Nanoscale Microscopy Lab - Science: Evidence by "seeing"

Welcome 2015 Nanoscale Microscopy Lab Class!

Kudos for attending our first day. Here is the proposed framework for you to think about the homework and final presentation: one approach for doing science is providing evidence by "seeing", or technically, imaging.
Science: Evidence by “seeing”
1.The science subject: What would you like to know?
2.The science question: What question is nature willing to answer?
3.The method: How to record natures answer?
4.The conclusion: How to interpret your recording of natures answer?
