Resources for teachers:
A great overall resource for teachers and students interested in nanotech: http://mrsec.wisc.edu/Edetc/index.html
Fun card game to get your students thinking about nanotechnology: http://www.neweconomics.org/gen/democsformatsandtopics.aspx
This is by far the most comprehensive site, it has anything you could thik of http://qt.exploratorium.edu/nise-resources/
Browse for resource collection - for example, you could browse resources for just high school students by going to Audience level: high school
An article on the importance of education in nanotechnology for K-12: http://www.newhorizons.org/strategies/technology/allen.htm
There are many promising sites for "virtual SEM". This seems good for novices: http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/primer/java/electronmicroscopy/magnify1/index.html
