This resource, provided by Piedmont Virginia Community College, includes files for a project-based learning module that has students "build the basis for a temperature controlled system that is controlled by a simple microcontroller and temperature sensors." A module handout, an introduction...

The website is provided by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (U.S.) and provides information on Hall effect measurements. "The objective of this Web site is twofold: (1) to describe the Hall measurement technique for determining the carrier density and mobility in semiconductor...

This resource from Johns Hopkins University has audio and interactive components. Various forms of the Fourier series description for periodic signals are based on alternate ways of writing a cosine signal. This resource goes over Phasors, Phasor Sums, Harmonic Phasor Sums, Gibbs Effect, Windowing,...

The Materials Science and Technology Teacher's Workshop (MAST) provides this activity to compare the amount of energy given off in combustion reactions. The experiment has two different objectives. The first is the comparison of heat energy given off between different fuel sources and the second is...
