The Molecular Expressions website features photo galleries that explore the fascinating world of optical microscopy. The site offers a large collection of color photographs taken through an optical microscope (commonly referred to as "photo-micro-graphs"). The Photo Gallery contains an introductory...

This page is an index to the interactive Java tutorials developed to help students understand topics in electricity and magnetism. Created by Florida State University, the site contains tutorials about concepts such as capacitance, Ohm's Law, and creation of a silicon seascape. The website contains...

This page contains links to animations of various types of motors, including stepper motors, brushless motors, and permanent magnet DC motors. Some of the animations are hosted on this site, and require shockwave to view. Others are provided by other websites.

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

Module Description: This module, from Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), covers the fabrication process of a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) process sensor. The module was originally designed to support a one week workshop where students build micro-sized pressure sensors. The...

These presentation slides are from the K-12 Resources in Nanotechnology webinar presented by the Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge (NACK) Center on January 31, 2014. Joyce Palmer Allen, Assistant Educational Coordinator at the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, discussed...

These presentation slides, published by the Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge (NACK), are from the RET Experience: Activities for the High School Classroom webinar that was presented on March 28, 2014. Presenters included Theresa Burch, Physics and Integrated Science Teacher at...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers the concept of nanomotors. Students will learn about nanometers through hands-on experiments which "explore nanoscale propulsion principles and guide students in recognizing and analyzing differences between macroscale...

Nanooze is a website that has been created to get kids excited about science and especially nanotechnology. The world that is too small to see is full of interesting stuff. Scientists and engineers are beginning to understand this world and learning how to change things at the nanoscale level. Why?...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, introduces students to the interaction between plastics, nanotechnology, and the natural world. Students will "understand how nanoparticles in our oceans can carry toxic pollutants into our cells, and how this may interfere...
