• Resumen

  • This editorial suggests opportunities for celebrating this year’s National Chemistry Week theme of nanotechnology by incorporating ideas from consumer products and technological materials to address two issues often faced by the precollege teaching community in their classes. First, the relevance of introductory chemistry topics to students’ lives is considered, then how cross-cutting concepts that connect chemistry to other disciplines can be facilitated through this year’s National Chemistry Week theme.
