Students enrolled in introductory geospatial classes need to have access to data, which can be simply located and requires only fundamental knowledge of the software being used for the first few lessons/case studies. Jefferson Community and Technical College (JCTC) has data available in four...

This resource, published by Georgia Tech Research Institute, features an ecology and data visualization activity designed for seventh graders. In this activity, students color-code and quantify data from images of coral to evaluate the health of coral impacted by the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. The...

This lesson introduces students to sustainability concepts and ISO 14001, an international standard encouraging pollution prevention. The PowerPoint presentation which accompanies this lesson is available for download.

This module will demonstrate "the structure-properties-processing relationship fundamental to materials science." The objective of the lesson is to "explain the effects of strain hardening and annealing on engineering materials and how the resulting mechanical properties may be significantly...

This module will demonstrate "the structure-properties-processing relationship fundamental to materials science." Students will gain a further understanding of the affects of annealing as well as the effects of cold work on the properties and microstructure of copper. This is part one of a two-part...

Module Description: This module, from Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), introduces "students to the common processes used to deposit thin films in the fabrication of micro-size devices." This module is divided into the following six units: Knowledge Probe (Pre-test), Primary...

Published by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, this activity allows students to design their own Rube Goldberg device which incorporates shape memory alloys. The goals of the lesson are "encourage students to compare and contrast science and technology; experimental design and...

Genetically modified foods are often in the news and widely grown in the United States. Three US government agencies (USDA, FDA, and EPA) work to regulate the introduction and production of genetically modified foods. These crops can provide agricultural, ecological and nutritional benefits, but...
