This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers the concepts of material properties. Students will use "electrochemistry techniques to generate colloidal silver and then utilize the colloidal silver to determine if the growth of the bacteria Saccharomyces cerevisiae...

This collection from the Center for Renewable Energy Advanced Technological Education Resource Center (CREATE) is composed of teaching materials that highlight a lesson on deep cycle batteries and charge controllers. After the lesson, students will be able to predict, measure, and explain electric...

This collection from the Center for Renewable Energy Advanced Technological Education Resource Center (CREATE) is composed of teaching materials that highlight a lesson on the solar design software Helioscope. Helioscope uses a web based interface to create 3D models for shade analysis and helps...

This lesson, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers the concept of solar ovens. In this lesson, students will learn how "thermal energy flows from the hot air to the cold water via conduction and will indicate that this would continue to happen until the water sample...

This collection from the Center for Renewable Energy Advanced Technological Education Resource Center (CREATE) is composed of teaching materials that highlight a lesson on the performance of solar PV modules. The collection is composed of five documents and a video. The documents include an...

This resource, provided by Piedmont Virginia Community College, includes files for a project-based learning module that has students learn about OHM's law while building a solder exhaust fan. This project is intended for introductory electronics courses. During the project, students are introduced...

This lab activity is provided by Maricopa Advanced Technology Education Center (MATEC) and is intended to demonstrate, through reverse engineering, some of the features electronic devices need to perform. This activity includes the following sections: Purpose, Systems Rationale, Systems Concepts,...
