Massachusetts Institute of Technology Highlights for High School website provides access to free online resources to improve high school science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) instruction. The website builds on MIT's existing OpenCourseWare initiative. This initiative provides...

This video, presented by Mark Keppinger, instructs viewers about the history, sound, and construction of the Theremin.  Named after its inventor, Leon Theremin, the Theremin was one of first fully electronic musical instruments.  The video series is composed of four individual videos.

This video is a tank and engine animation of the BMW Hydrogen 7 car. The video is 3 minutes and 18 seconds in length.

Circuit Construction Kit adds capacitors, inductors and AC voltage sources to your toolbox! Now you can graph the current and voltage as a function of time.This simulation of a Circuit Construction Kit(AC+DC)is from the Physics Education Technology website of University of Colorado. Included are...

This experiment compares the mechanical and thermal properties of variously treated art clay. Students will be constructing beams made from art clay. They will then be sintering some of the beams and testing the differences in mechanical properties. The lesson is expected to span several days. On...

This is a 3-D animation of equivalent crystal planes. It shows the Miller indices linking nodes as a corresponding binary family within braces. This animation is approximately 13 seconds in length.

This 3-D animation is a visualization of the Miller indices (Miller indexes) showing approximately 24 various possible planes. The three intercepts are shown along with the plane notation.

This 3-D color animation is conceptual visualization of bird's–eye view of electron moving through a lattice experiencing different forces. The video shows movement through the crystal structure lattice and is under 5 seconds in length. 

This animation shows band populations as a function of temperature in a p-type extrinsic semiconductor. Note that the Fermi-energy actual shifts position in the band gap and is not accurately depicted here. The video shows the conduction bond and valence bond separated by a band gap with the...

This animation shows band populations as a function of temperature in an n-type semiconductor. Note that the Fermi-energy actual shifts position in the band gap and is not accurately depicted here. The video shows the conduction bond and valence bond separated by a band gap where the donor electrons...
