Yes he is the president........BUT.It's a science class.Why can't a picture of a scientist[s] be used?The kids my not recognize them at first but how about a lesson with pictures of the scientists and what their contribution to science has been.That would be more in line with SCIENCE.I'm not buying it!

it's about Nano technology

there is no higher related field of science than that!

Quote:

Professor John Hart at the University of Michigan is highlighting his persona in something very, very small, by creating a series of microscopic portraits he calls "nanobamas."

Hart works at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, where research into carbon nanotubes is performed. Nanotubes were used to create the portraits, each about a half-millimeter across. The portraits are so small that an electron microscope is needed to photograph them.

Carbon nanotubes are a super-material that promise to let us to do everything from climb buildings to take an elevator into space. This particular use is rather less practical, but Hart's hope was that creating these nanobamas would increase awareness for his field of research. But, with the current economic downturn, the ongoing war in Iraq, and dozens of other crises facing the President-to-be, we think it's going to take something a little...bigger to capture his attention.

It wasnt the nanotech version, these were miniature pictures on paper. The 6th graders dont have the expensive electron microscopes required to see this.

Update,

Today they got to look at pics of Michelle Obama and "some old dude" that she didn't know and the teacher didn't identify. She knows what McCain and Bush look like and said it wasn't them. I asked if it was George Washington, Lincoln or anyone like that and she said no. So far no actual scientific value or slides have been shown to the class. First day, I can see using something like this to get the classes interest, but now they have wasted 2 days looking at Obama, Michelle Obama and the "old dude".
