In this lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, students will "study how surfactant-based chemistry can be used to synthesize CdSe quantum dots and study how the size of the quantum dots can be controlled by varying reaction time." This lab will help students to...
This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, uses silver nanoplates as a tool to explore the relationship between shape and optical properties. Students will be able to compare material properties and behaviors at both the nano- and macroscale through the exercise, as...
This collection of resources, from the Cybersecurity Education for Advanced Manufacturing Organizations project, is part of the System Hardening Basics Scenario. This scenario is a cybersecurity training module designed to introduce and reinforce essential practices for securing systems. The...
This lab experiment requires students to improve the mechanics of sandwich composites via construction and testing. Teams of students will "fabricate composite paper panels, and create both beams and signboards." The lesson can be completed within an hour. This activity would be appropriate for high...
This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, students will be prompted to think critically about examining the world around them. These flexible lessons will allow students to use magnifying glasses and microscopes to observe structures and gather information. For...
Teach.Genetics provides a wealth of resources and information aimed at helping educators bring genetics, bioscience and health alive in the classroom. This site is a companion to the Learn. Genetics website and offers additional tools to support educators including PDF-based Print-and-Go activities,...
The Materials Science and Technology Teacher's Workshop (MAST) provides this demonstration on corrosion. The class will observe the corrosion of iron nails in a test tube over a period of several days. The lesson includes a step by step explanation of the laboratory procedure and discussion...
The Marine Advanced Technology Education Center introduces the concept of actuators as they are utilized on a remotely operated vehicle, or ROV, using the Angelfish ROV project. Students will learn the basics of the Angelfish ROV using videos which demonstrate the step-by-step building process and...
This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, teaches students which patients, from a variety of samples, have diabetes. Students will measure "...the glucose concentration of several synthetic blood and urine samples..." This contains a 13-page teacher guide, that...
This role playing activity, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers both methods of scientific inquiry and problem solving. In this activity, students will "use the skills of scientific inquiry to uncover the most likely perpetrator of a crime, and employ a paper...
