This lesson, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers the general concepts of size and scale by discussing the micro and macro worlds. The activity focuses on using scale bars as this is "the most common feature when presenting nanoscale structures or naonoscale...

This learning module from the Northeast Advanced Technological Education Center (NEATEC) explores thin films. Educators can incorporate this module into an existing STEM class. Essential questions and objectives of the learning module are provided alongside New York state's common core learning...

This document provides a learning module on the basic differences between metal types and how to test metals. The lesson includes demonstrating the spark test to students so that they may see the "Visible result of the carbon content in steel, and the lack of carbon in other materials, plus realize...

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 Tracking Land Cover Changes in the San...

From the GeoExchange Initiative at Gateway Technical College, this Course Outcome Summary describes the Trenching and Header Fundamentals course, in which students learn "the fundamentals of calculating and constructing 2 pipe reverse return reducing headering" including calculating necessary flow...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, teaches students how to measure the wavelength of a laser. Furthermore, students will calculate the uncertainty in their measurement as it is "critical to have accurate measurements on the nanoscale." A Teacher's Preparatory...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers the concept of wave properties. Students will learn how light waves interact with matter. The activity is "analogous to light traveling through optical media having different indices of refraction (densities)." Teacher...

This exercise, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers the concept of waveguides. Students will explore the "angle of incidence, angle of refraction, and how light is transmitted through a waveguide for communication." Students have the option to do this lesson as...

Module Description: This module was created by the Center for Nanotechnology Education (Nano-Link) and serves as an introduction to crystal structures and properties. During this module students will learn about the atomic nature of solid materials, the structure of crystaline materials, crystal...

Module Description: This module, from Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), provides "information on the evolution of the current systems of weights and measures, and an overview of the International Standards of Units and metric system." This module is divided into the following five ...
