In this lab users will collect field data from Mt. Hope Cemetery. In the second part users will use...

This 2-page resource is the second part in a two part lab activity and is provided by the GeoTech Consortium of Western New York: Get the GIST (Geospatial Information Science Technology) Certificate. In this lab users will complete three tasks. The first task is to create a data table in excel that...

Module Description: This module, from Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), covers the fabrication process of a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) process sensor. The module was originally designed to support a one week workshop where students build micro-sized pressure sensors. The...

This lesson plan, from the Contextualize to Learn project at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, is an exploration in multiplying decimal numbers. In this lesson, students work individually and in pairs to solve application problems using multiple methods. This lesson plan includes both student and...

This lesson plan, from the Contextualize to Learn project at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, is an exploration in contextualized applications of multiplying fractions. In this lesson, students work in pairs to perform multiplication with models, drawings, and equations, and solve application...

This lesson plan, from the Contextualize to Learn project at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, is an exploration in contextualized applications of multiplication. In this lesson, students work in pairs to define multiplication as groups consisting of equal number of objects. Students will also...

In this brief activity, students are introduced to the nanometer and become familiar with just how small the nanoscale is. The lesson plan employs useful analogies to help illustrate the topics.

In this activity, students review applications of nanotechnology and discuss issues involved in cutting edge technology. The purpose of the activity is to get students to think about how different advances in nanotechnology can be used in different ways, and what the ethical and societal...

This 4-page Nanoscale Electrodeposition Activity is part of a series of resources collected by the Nebraska Nanoscale Facility to teach students about electron-beam vapor depositions. This hands-on activity is designed to help students in Grades 5-12 "apply an understanding of relationships among...
