These learning materials, made available by the STEM Guitar project, are an activity and a presentation on the growth of trees. The presentation describes factors that affect tree growth including the following topics: what information about a tree can be gained by looking at the cross section of...

Try Engineering is a portal about engineering and engineering careers. This site is intended to help young people understand what engineering actually means and how an engineering career can be made part of their future. The site features links to engineering programs at major universities and...

Tutorial Description: This exercise, created by the Integrated Geospatial Education and Technology Training Project (iGETT), serves as a tutorial for advanced Geographic Information System (GIS) students within the framework of a remote sensing class or raster GIS class with a strong remote...

This resource provides an animation and diagrams of a Stirling Engine that illustrates expansion, transfer, and contraction. The Stirling engine is a very simple engine, and was often billed as a safe alternative to steam, since there's no risk of a boiler explosion. Stirling engines feature a...

This resource, developed by Khan Academy, allows students to test their math skills by answering questions concerning linear equations that are "more than abstract concepts and exercises." This problem set within the "Two-Variable Linear Equations and Introduction to Functions" section allows...

As an agency within the Department of Transportation, the Maritime Administration is primarily concerned with the world of waterborne transportation. The agency also works in a variety of areas, including shipbuilding, port operations, national security, and safety. Users who find themselves on the...

This 25-page report, published by the University of Stavanger, describes the design and construction of the underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) created by the UiS Subsea team for the Explorer Class of the 2022 MATE ROV competition. MATE ROV is a global competition that challenges STEM...

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...
