American Biology Teacher, v75 n2 p121-126 Feb 2013
The purpose of this study was to design a teaching method suitable for science high school students using atomic force microscopy. During their scientific inquiry procedure, high school students observed a micro-nanostructure of a biological sample, which is unobservable via an optical microscope. The developed teaching method enhanced students' science-learning motivation and scientific creativity.
