Background To facilitate the implementation of the NSS Physics Curriculum, a series of professional development programmes is being organised. Major domains of the professional development programmes to be provided are: (1) Understanding and Interpreting the Curriculum; (2) Learning and Teaching Strategies; (3) Enriching Knowledge for the Physics Curriculum; and (4) Assessing Student Learning (Including Internal Assessment, School-based Assessment and Standards-referenced Reporting). Please refer to the following webpage for further details of this series: http://cd1.edb.hkedcity.net/cd/science/physics/NSS/nssphy_e.htm This course focuses on the part “Probing into nano scale” of the elective topic “Atomic World” in the NSS Physics Curriculum. 
Objective(s) 1. To enrich teachers’ understanding of the concepts and theories involved in nano science; 2. To share with teachers i. how the nature demonstrates the amazing physics phenomena by the nano structure found in different livings; and ii. examples of recent nano product development and future use of nano materials with different structures in our daily life
