Nanomaterials in Newfoundland: Designing a Lab Kit for Grades 9-12 to Bridge the Gap Between Science and Engineering
Innovation has its fundamental roots in engineering and entrepreneurship. This paper presents primary research gathered from high school science teachers from selected K-12 schools across Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, addressing specifically the gaps that they have identified as being most chal...
