Workshop activities aimed to broaden teachers’ conceptions on the utility ofmodels for design- and inquiry-based instruction. While teachers expanded their views, theirselected nanoscale science and engineering models lacked the design and inquiry componentsthat we hoped to achieve. This information facilitates refinements to our modeling activities forfuture professional development workshops. Ultimately, we aim to provide teachers with thesupport they need to use models of nanoscale phenomena as tools for engineering design andscience inquiry.IntroductionIncreased federal funding of nanotechnology-related research
