abstract={This publication introduces a digital learning module on the topic of <b>nanomedicine</b> for chemistry education in <b>high schools</b> and for student laboratories. <b>Nanoparticles</b> provide a modern approach for treating diseases. By encapsulating active ingredients in <b>nanoparticles</b> the ingredients are not distributed in the entire body, but can be specifically transported and released to the target organs and tissues. The advantage of this approach is that a higher dose can reach the designated target while minimizing the overall dosage and resulting side effects. This research topic offers excellent links to classical school chemistry contents such as polymer chemistry, polymerization, ester formation and cleavage, polarity, and solubility. The digital learning module is based on a <b>differentiation grid</b> that offers students with varying learning backgrounds an individual way to access and engage with the module.},
