This video, from the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation, introduces viewers to the Touchstone algae research project, where partners are experimenting in growing algae on a large scale for biofuel production. The video discusses the energy extraction process as well as the other products that can be...

This lesson, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, consists of two activities, 'Fly Poison' and 'Water Maze,' to introduce students to self-assembly in nanotechnology. 'Fly Poison' models how "researchers build very small devices by the self-assembly of molecules" for...

This activity is meant to provide a real world application of the Advanced Technology Environmental and Energy Center's (ATEEC) Recommended Core Curriculum. This curriculum was identified by ATEEC Fellows as necessary preparation for environmental technology occupation. In this activity, students...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, will "help students understand how chemical reactions are used to create the specific shapes on surfaces of crystalline materials, which make up functional components within electronics." The wet etching process is used to...

In this video, created by Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), viewers can watch an animation on the wet oxidation process. This animation "illustrates the chemistry of a wet thermal oxidation process that is used to grow silicon dioxide (SiO2) on a silicon (Si) wafer. In a wet...

In this video, created by Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), viewers can watch an animation on the difference between wet and dry thermal oxidation processes. This animation "shows a side by side comparison of a wet oxidation process vs. a dry oxidation process. Both processes use an...

The Materials Science and Technology Teacher's Workshop (MAST) provides this experiment on the reactivity of metals. The module will help illustrate the chemistry of metals and how metals are used together to prevent corrosion. The lesson includes a step by step explanation of the laboratory...
