This collection from the Center for Renewable Energy Advanced Technological Education Resource Center (CREATE) is composed of teaching materials that highlight a lesson on building a passive solar home. Home energy load profile and variables that affect it are highlighted. The collection is composed...
The Advanced Technology Environmental and Energy Center (ATEEC) Sustainable Energy Education & Training (SEET) provides this presentation for high school and community college instructors on developing curricula in the sustainable building industry. The document was part of a workshop held during...
This lesson, developed by Martha Muir, guides students through a simulation of some of the steps and challenges in isolating uranium, and then asks them to compare the quantity of energy obtained from uranium to the amount of energy obtained from coal. Upon completion of the lesson, students should...
This learning activity will provide a useful technique for students to learn casting concepts. The class will be allowed a hands-on experience with casting. Students will make their own fishing sinkers. The lesson plan document includes step by step instructions for the lesson along with...
This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers the concept of chemical reactions. Students will learn about "the reactions involved in catalytic converters and the importance of nanocatalysts in the reactions." Teacher Preparation Guides, Student Guides, and Next...
This lab sequence guides students through the process of converting plant-based fuel sources (biomass) first into sugars then ethanol. "As biomass samples are pretreated, enzymatically digested, and fermented, students use glucose meters and ethanol probes to measure the key products of this...
This lesson, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers the diffraction behavior of light waves. Students will discover how CDs and DVDs contain regularly spaced micrometer sized features that act like diffraction grating. Using these items rather than commercially...
Module Description:
This learning module from the Support Center for Microsystems Education introduces students to the different types of cells, aspects of cell growth, and the types of organelles found within cells. The material focuses on cells in relation to bioMEMS (bio- microelectromechanical...
This learning activity will provide an introduction to ceramic slip casting for advanced high-school and introductory college and technical school students. The exercise covers the properties of ceramics, the slip casting process, and the limitations of slip casting. The module can be completed in...
This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers the concept of semiconductor manufacturing. Students will learn how scientist "take advantage of diffusion to 'dope' or introduce atoms into a silicon wafer to change its conductive properties." The lesson simulates...
