The Materials Science and Technology Teacher's Workshop (MAST) provides this lesson plan for students learning about polymers. The class will create a material similar to silly putty using cross linking polymers. The module will allow students to observe the changes in physical properties when a...

This 1-page document, from the Advanced Technology Environmental and Energy Center (ATEEC), is a learning activity where students gain the opportunity to use analytical meters and instruments to perform acid deposition sampling. In the activity, students collect samples from various sources over a...

This video, from the Ohio State University, demonstrates how to set up an experiment in anaerobic digestion for bioenergy production using common household items, including vinegar, baking soda, and water bottles. The video is intended to introduce educators to the process for the purpose of...

Gerald Kinyua moved from his homeland of Kenya hoping to get an education and explore a new career in chemistry. At first he found it difficult to negotiate the education system in a new country, until he connected with Northern Essex Community College. Now he feels right at home in his program and...

The Materials Science and Technology Teacher's Workshop (MAST) provides this experiment on the basic particle model for metals. The activity uses Bbs in a Petri dish to simulate the formation and movement of metal atoms as well as show dislocation and vacancy movement. Students will fill a Petri...

This collection of learning materials from the Biology Project at the University of Arizona is divided up into two sections: Chemistry of Life and Energy Reactions. On the site, visitors can find eleven tutorials and problems sets on topics such as Large Molecules, Acids and Bases, Metabolism, and...
