This module, created by the Center for Nanotechnology Education (Nano-Link), introduces students to "the phenomenon of band gaps in light emitting diodes using readily accessible experimental materials, LEDs, and inexpensive digital meters." During the learning activity students build a simple Light...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, allows students to "understand how light is bent into different directions as it interacts with small objects, especially those on the nanoscale (1-100nm)." Additionally, students will learn about the process of x-ray...

This lesson plan, from the Contextualize to Learn project at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, provides an opportunity for students to further explore division through the standard algorithm. In this lesson, students will work in pairs to contextualize and apply division to problems. Included in...

This activity, from the Florida Advanced Technological Education Center, is targeted towards students in elementary school, and challenges them to think of products (either manufactured or natural) that originate from Florida. Students begin by watching a 27-minute video ("Made in Florida") and...

This activity, from the Florida Advanced Technological Education Center, is targeted towards students in middle school and high school, and challenges them to think of products (either manufactured or occurring naturally) that originate from Florida. Students begin by watching a 27-minute video...

This lesson, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers magnetism. Students will experiment with ferrofluid which is "a unique material that has both magnetic and liquid properties. It is a colloidal solution of nano-sized particle of magnetite suspended in a liquid." A...

This resource, published by Georgia Tech Research Institute, features a math data visualization activity designed for seventh graders. In this activity, students utilize "inference and measures of center and variability to investigate the error rate of random samples of hex nuts to determine if a...

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 Post-Fire Burn Assessment LU, by...

This resource, published by Georgia Tech Research Institute, features an science activity designed for eighth graders. In this activity, students engage as environmental engineers to determine how the oil from the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill landed at the bottom of the ocean in order to prevent...

Unit Description: FLATE, the Florida Advanced Technological Education Center for Manufacturing, has developed a series of “Made in Florida” lesson plans to prepare students for careers in manufacturing. These Lesson Plans are intended to enrich science, technology, engineering, and mathematics...
