Module Description: This module, from Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), provides an introduction to "a systematic approach to solving problems by using a six-step process." The module contains information on approaches for solving both simple and complex problems. Students are...

This learning activity tests the strength of fibers and fabrics: specifically, threads, string and yarn made from a variety of materials. The experiment will demonstrate the particular properties of different fibers and fabrics and the differences between natural and synthetic fibers. This activity...

This lesson, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers the properties of water flow. Students will "observe and understand the way fluids interact with a stationary phase for example, chromatography paper." Next, students will create a list of questions they have about...

This learning activity shows how "differences in composition can drastically affect the properties of balls that look identical." Balls that appear the same but are composed of different materials will be bounced. Since they are made of different materials, students will observe a difference in the...

This free downloadable DOS program teaches hands-on PLC (programmable logic controller) programming and functions as a Allen Bradley PLC emulator. This PLC training package is three distinct programs combined into one. There is a PLC ladder logic (function chart) editor for creating and editing PLC...

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 Quantifying Areas in Cultivation in...

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 Quantifying Land Cover Change in Maine...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers the concept of behavior of particles on the nanoscale. Students will learn about exploring the absorption and reflection of light "based on energy levels that are determined by size and bonding arrangements of the...

This learning module will introduce students to ISO 14001, which is a standard which serves as a framework assisting organizations in creating their own environmental management system. Students will learn how product drawing relates to implementing this standard, and consider how recycled materials...

Program Description: This material was published by the Regional Center for Nuclear Education and Training (RCNET) as part of a comprehensive crosswalk that links objectives of ACAD 08-006 with GP Strategies ABC Material, NUCP Surveyed Material, NANTeL resources, EPRI resources, web resources, and...
