Nanooze Magazine
was created for kids
Nanooze (we say nah-news) is NNIN's branded "direct to student"
outreach activity. It consists of a kid-friendly web site, a print edition distributed through classrooms, workshops, and museums, and two museum quality interactive exhibits. Nanooze is a place for kids to learn about the latest exciting stuff in science and technology. What kind of stuff? Discoveries about the world that is too small to see and making tiny things. Nanooze makes reading and learning abou these discoveries fun!
Please note that nanotechnology is very broad and that many nanotechnology concepts are accessible to kids when presented properly. And many nanotechnology concepts are just variations on things that are already in the curriculum.
Nanooze is distributed by NNIN and produced by Cornell University, more specifically, by Prof. Carl Batt of Cornell University. Questions and comments on content should be directed to Professor Batt (cab10@cornell.edu).
Nanooze on the Web
Nanooze started as a cool website, directed at kids. Nanooze on the web is available in Engish, Spanish, and Portuguese.
Nanooze in Print
Nanooze in Print is a free classroom "magazine" devoted to nanotechnology. Each issue is full of articles and attractive color pictures on exciting topics in science and technology, delivered at the "kid level". While the content is generally aimed at the middle school level, it is written to be accessible and enjoyable for almost all ages. The reading level is appropriate for upper elementary students. Nanooze is mostly used as classroom enrichment or resource material. It can be used in support of specific curriculum, for topical "research", and as free reading material. Two or three issues per year are published; about 100,000 of each issue have been distributed.
Nanooze in Print is distributed in classroom packs of 30 (or multiples thereof), free of charge to teachers for classroom use. It is also distributed in bulk to science museums and other research centers who act as secondary distributors. Currently 13 issues have been published. Content of each issue can be viewed below or at http://nanooze.org/articles/downloads/

NNIN is happy to consider large scale (district wide) distribution arrangements. We are particularly interested in novel uses of Nanooze and any information of the effectiveness of Nanooze in various situations.
NNIN is happy to consider non-profit partners (museums, research centers, university outreach programs) for secondary distribution of Nanooze in Print. Please contact Prof. Batt or Dr. Rathbun.
