The present work aims to organize and implement a didactic module covering Nanoscience and Nanotechnology subjects. The work was conducted in classes of basic school students. This material was developed for a total of five periods, the audience is composed of 123 students belonging to the third year of Riachuelo high school in Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul. This work was divided in stages, these being defined as: "Motivation", where students were asked about the subject, and also at this stage were presented curious about the subject, leading them and influence them to seek explanations for situations presented. The next step in what was called "Understanding the scale , where a sequence of images the students were differentiating and relating the different scales of measurement to achieve the nanometer. In the next step named "Developing the theme," were presented simulations to understand the behavior of nanostructures and their advantages. In the next stage called "Knowing the theme in the literature , were used to disseminate scientific texts that addressed the theme, where the reading of texts was made in house and discussed in the classroom. The last step "Assessment" as a tool was developed using a questionnaire with open questions about the type of approach used in the Didactic Module and measuring knowledge of the subject was performed using a thesis that is directed to a paradox of applications of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. The work as a whole was anchored on the extraordinary potential of this science, as well as their innovative applications. And the results generally were satisfactory and met the objectives, showing itself as an effective methodology in the insertion of this topic in Basic Education
