Learning Unit Description:
The Integrated Geospatial Education and Technology Training Project (iGETT) presents a series of Learning Units (LU) designed to incorporate federal land remote sensing data into Geographic Information System (GIS) instruction. The Examining Land Use Change in Phoenix,...
Using a Java applet, this lesson has students perform virtual experiments to study the characteristics of projectile motion (which would otherwise be difficult to perform in a typical classroom). Using the applet, students will observe the effects of air resistance on the idealized motion presented...
The University of Wisconsin-Madison Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) for Nanostructured Materials and Interfaces has launched an effort to make the nanoworld accessible and comprehensible to everyone. This booklet is an important part of the effort. LEGO bricks provide a...
Nanotechnology is an area of science and engineering that occurs at the atomic and molecular level. This is certainly a difficult concept to grasp. This website, presented by The National Infrastructure Network, highlights many critical concepts to understanding this smaller scale. By using a...
This activity, provided by the Advanced Technology Environmental and Energy Center (ATEEC), takes students on a virtual field trip that explores issues around the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill, such as the path of the oil tanker, impacts of the oil spill, and more. The 12-page document includes a short...
This high school or beginning undergraduate level lab demonstration and inquiry activity will introduce students to the process of fermenting cellulosic biomass into cellulosic ethanol, along with the challenges researchers face in this area. The demonstration uses a Vernier probe or balloons to...
From the GeoExchange Initiative at Gateway Technical College, this Course Outcome Summary describes the Flushing, Purging and Pressurizing course in which advanced students learn "leak and pressure testing of the completed loopfield and the associated headers and supply/return runs from inside the...
In this activity, developed by the Lane Community College MAPS GIS Program, students are "introduced to the concept of a watershed and begin to develop its biogeographic history from settlement to present day." Students then use maps they created to head into the field to check the validity of the...
This lesson plan demonstrates the toughness of Corelle material and relates the behavior of Corelle plates to the material's design and structure. The students will examine a Corelle plate and ask the questions: Why don't Corelle plates break and how are they manufactured? The module would be...
In this lesson from MAPS GIS at Lane Community College, students will describe the geodemographics of former French colonies in Africa as defined by the human development index, population densities, birth and death rates, life expectancy. Students will compare the geospatial patterns of data with...
