The Materials Science and Technology Teacher's Workshop (MAST) provides this experiment on "the effect of cold-working (strain-hardening) and annealing on the ability of wires of the same metal to support a load." Students will gain hands-on experience with cold-working and annealing and get to...
This lesson plan, which has been used in a college level materials processing laboratory course, looks at the concept of processing-structure-property relationships. "The students baked cakes at the beginning of the semester and studied them as an introduction to the course. The activity was...
This chapter from the Materials Science and Technology Teacher's Handbook provides experiments and demonstrations involving ceramics that can be used in a materials science and technology curriculum. These experiments are "designed to grab students’ attention, pull their minds from predictable...
This chapter from the Materials Science and Technology Teacher's Handbook provides experiments and demonstrations involving composites that can be used in a materials science and technology curriculum. These experiments are "designed to grab students’ attention, pull their minds from predictable...
This chapter from the Materials Science and Technology Teacher's Handbook provides experiments and demonstrations that can be used in a materials science and technology curriculum. These experiments are "designed to grab students’ attention, pull their minds from predictable everyday classroom...

Unit Description:
FLATE, the Florida Advanced Technological Education Center for Manufacturing, has developed a series of “Made in Florida” lesson plans to prepare students for careers in manufacturing. These Lesson Plans are intended to enrich science, technology, engineering, and mathematics...
This video from Laser-Tec is part of a series of light and optics experiments. In this lab, participants measure the diameter of human hair using diffraction. Participants learn about the diffraction of light on human hair and a thin metal wire, and then calculate the thickness of the hair and wire....
This video from Laser-Tec is part of a series of light and optics experiments. In this lab, participants measure the focal length of a double convex or bi-convex (DCX) lens. The tracing of light rays by an infinite source through a DCX lens and applications of DCX lenses for improving human vision...
