This collection of learning materials from the Biology Project at the University of Arizona contains problem sets and tutorials on molecular biology. The four items are: Molecular Genetics of Prokaryotes, Nucleic Acids, Recombinant DNA Technology, and Eukaryotic Gene Expression. There are also...

Module Description: This module, from Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), covers the fabrication process of a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) process sensor. The module was originally designed to support a one week workshop where students build micro-sized pressure sensors. The...

This classroom module will help students understand "how a polymer based multilayered coating method can be used to control the release of biological agents for different applications." The experiment is described step by step in the document; photographs are also included. The activity is intended...

This lesson plan, from the Contextualize to Learn project at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, is an exploration in multiplying decimal numbers. In this lesson, students work individually and in pairs to solve application problems using multiple methods. This lesson plan includes both student and...

This lesson plan, from the Contextualize to Learn project at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, is an exploration in contextualized applications of multiplying fractions. In this lesson, students work in pairs to perform multiplication with models, drawings, and equations, and solve application...

This lesson plan, from the Contextualize to Learn project at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, is an exploration in contextualized applications of multiplication. In this lesson, students work in pairs to define multiplication as groups consisting of equal number of objects. Students will also...

This module, created by the Center for Nanotechnology Education (Nano-Link), introduces students to nanoparticles. During the learning activity students "make gold nanoparticles through a chemical process, and examine their optical properties." Learning outcomes for this module are: Understand...

This exercise, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers the concept of nanobacteria. In this lesson, students will "calculate surface area, draw graphs, and approximate the populations of bacteria and nanobes." This exercise will run more smoothly if students have an...

Module Description: This module, created by the Center for Nanotechnology Education (Nano-Link), introduces students to the technologies, processes and methods used for the creation of nanocelluloses. During the learning activity students produce a nanofiber paper by creating and processing pulp...

Module Description: This module, created by the Center for Nanotechnology Education (Nano-Link), introduces students to nanoconrete, "the nanotechnologies, processes, and methods being tested by industry to prepare strong and lightweight cementitious products and systems." During the learning...
