This website contains resources for teachers, students, and parents, as well as information on the goals and learning approaches EarthComm uses. In addition to the...

This resource, published by Georgia Tech Research Institute, features a science and data visualization activity designed for sixth graders. In this activity, students plot spatial and temporal earthquake data to make recommendations on where to build a new cell phone manufacturing plant in Northern...

This lesson, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, allows students a chance to experiment using the electro-plating process to produce nanowires. In addition to learning about the production of these components, students will gain a greater understanding of "...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers the concept of chemical reactions. Students will learn how "a flow of electrons allows cations in solution to revert to a solid state while plating an object" as well as "the process which allows the ions of the...

This collection, provided by eSyst: Tools for Electronics Education, includes an 8-page student guide and a 6-page instructor guide for a Transmission Line Measurements lab. This lab "aims to familiarize students with common measurements on coaxial transmission lines." The lab includes a purpose,...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers the concept of electroplating. Students will learn how "an electric current passed through an ionic solution will result in a chemical reaction which will separate materials" by creating thin layers of copper and...

This collection from the Center for Renewable Energy Advanced Technological Education Resource Center (CREATE) is composed of teaching materials that highlight a lesson on energy unit conversions. The collection is composed of five documents. Documents include an instructors guide and answer key, a...

In this lesson from MAPS GIS at Lane Community College, students will look at world health data using GIS. The students will be compare malaria and cholera death data from different years and predict if there exist the conditions for an epidemic. Students will take on the role of an epidemiologist...

This lesson plan, from the Contextualize to Learn project at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, provides an opportunity for students to explore equivalent fractions.
