You might love this lesson, or you might not. Basically, high school scientists read through a script in which someone interviews a physicist, a biologist, and a chemist in regard to their use of nanotechnology. The names of the involved characters are clever, and the material is fascinating. It is quite long, however. The pictures that are discussed will need to be enlarged and displayed as they represent posters on the walls of the interviewees. This can be used in any science course as an enrichment activity.
