This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, introduces students to the concepts of scale and magnification using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) image of a Blue Morpho butterfly wing. If educators do not have access to an SEM, images is included with the activity....

This lesson, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers the properties of water flow. Students will "observe and understand the way fluids interact with a stationary phase for example, chromatography paper." Next, students will create a list of questions they have about...

This lab activity from the Biotechnology Alliance for Suncoast Biology Educators (BASBE) explores different analytical tests that are used to detect the presence of specific macromolecule classes based on their properties. Students will also have a chance to measure their own body mass index by...

This lab activity from the Biotechnology Alliance for Suncoast Biology Educators (BABSE) demonstrates the biologically important properties of water, including surface tension, cohesion, adhesion, capillary action, solubility, and heat capacity. The lesson includes background information on water...

This lab activity, developed by Jeffrey Lane, demonstrates the complexity of locating and extracting mineral and energy resources. Students will take eight core samples and then locate them on a grid. Students will then analyze the samples and create a three-dimensional diagram containing different...

This free downloadable DOS program teaches hands-on PLC (programmable logic controller) programming and functions as a Allen Bradley PLC emulator. This PLC training package is three distinct programs combined into one. There is a PLC ladder logic (function chart) editor for creating and editing PLC...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers the concept of behavior of particles on the nanoscale. Students will learn about exploring the absorption and reflection of light "based on energy levels that are determined by size and bonding arrangements of the...

Toolkit Description: RCNET Radiation Protection Toolkit: Texas State Technical College is from the RCNET Comprehensive Teaching Toolkit: Radiation Protection which is drawn from curriculum taught in the Associate in Applied Science with a Major in Radiation Protection Technology program at Aiken...

In this laboratory exercise, students will be introduced to the oxidation / corrosion of iron from two different sources (flame and water). From the examination of corrosion from multiple sources, students will be able to compare and contrast the effects each has on the iron samples. Students will...

This learning activity will provide an opportunity for students to develop their critical thinking and research skills in chemistry by asking them to investigate corrosion rates of metals and draw conclusions from their experiments. Students will measure corrosion rates in specific alloys and apply...
