Module Description: This module was created by the Center for Nanotechnology Education (Nano-Link) and covers dye-sensitized solar cells (DSC). "This device is essentially a photo-electrochemical cell, which means that a photo-induced chemical reaction causes electrons to travel from one material...

EarthComm (Earth System Science in the Community) is an Earth science curriculum designed for use by all students in U.S. high schools. This website contains resources for teachers, students, and parents, as well as information on the goals and learning approaches EarthComm uses. In addition to the...

This resource, published by Georgia Tech Research Institute, features a science and data visualization activity designed for sixth graders. In this activity, students plot spatial and temporal earthquake data to make recommendations on where to build a new cell phone manufacturing plant in Northern...

In this lesson from MAPS GIS at Lane Community College, students examine the ecological zones in Oregon using a web-based GIS map. Using the skills acquired from the tutorial, students will be able to investigate the connections between ecoregions in Oregon relating specifically to precipitation,...

Module Description: The Fire Ecology and Management Series is provided by the Northwest Center for Sustainable Resources and includes six modules. The series "is designed to address both the general role of fire in ecosystems as well as specific wildfire management issues in forest ecosystems." The...

This lesson plan provides an introduction to the hardness of materials. Specifically, the exercise allows students the opportunity to "observe the changes in hardness of brass resulting from different percentages of rolling, along with the accompanying changes in microstructure." Students will also...

This lesson, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, allows students a chance to experiment using the electro-plating process to produce nanowires. In addition to learning about the production of these components, students will gain a greater understanding of "...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers the concept of chemical reactions. Students will learn how "a flow of electrons allows cations in solution to revert to a solid state while plating an object" as well as "the process which allows the ions of the...

This 11-page lab, by eSyst: Tools for Electronics Education, provides practical experience with short-range wireless equipment. "The experiment provides activities to analyze the organization and operation of a common UHF transceiver, range calculation and measurement, and antenna radiation...

This collection, provided by provided by eSyst: Tools for Electronics Education, includes an instructor guide and supporting files for the Using Digi International's XBee Modules lab activity. This lab is intended "to introduce the instructor to Digi International's XBee wireless modules; and to...
