This study aimed to enrich science education in the secondary school with topics related to nanotechnology, which contribute to the improvement of the technical literacy level among students and helping them to gain positive attitudes towards nanotechnology by building a scientific content dealing with defining nanotechnology and its life applications according to secondary school students' level, identifying the effect of this enriching content in increasing the level of technical literacy related to nanotechnology and helping the students to gain positive attitudes towards it.
To achieve the study objectives, the quasi-experimental approach with one group design was used; depending on the two tools of the study: a technical literacy test and attitudes scale towards nanotechnology, which were applied on the study sample consisted of thirty two students.
Results revealed the effectiveness of teaching the proposed unit in increasing the level of technical literacy among students and configuring positive attitudes towards nanotechnology
