Pump gas molecules to a box and see what happens as you change the volume, add or remove heat, change gravity, and more. Measure the temperature and pressure, and discover how the properties of the gas vary in relation to each other. This simulation of a Gas Properties is from the Physics Education...

Learn about the physics of resistance in a wire. Change its resistivity, length, and area to see how they affect the wire's resistance. The sizes of the symbols in the equation change along with the diagram of a wire.This simulation of a Resistance in a Wire is from the Physics Education Technology...

Why do the lights turn on in a room as soon as you flip a switch? Flip the switch and electrons slowly creep along a wire. The light turns on when the signal reaches it. This simulation of a Signal Circuit is from the Physics Education Technology website of University of Colorado. Included are links...

This 23-page report, published by Brooks DeBartolo Collegiate High School, describes the design and construction of the U.S.S. Phoenix, an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV). This report was created by the Phoenix Robotics, a student group that participated in the 2021 MATE ROV competitions...

This video, created by Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), provides an overview of the photolithography​. The lecture runs for 12:02 seconds and covers photolithography as a part of the MEMS fabrication process, including the steps of production. More information can be found on the...

Course Description This hybrid and dual credit course was created by the Developing Photonics Education in Iowa's Rural Secondary Schools project at Indian Hills Community College. This course and supporting materials were created to "increase the number of photonics technicians in the U.S. via...

The Developing Photonics Education in Iowa's Rural Secondary Schools project created a hybrid and dual credit course to increase the number of photonics technicians in the U.S. This resource includes materials that were created to further outreach and recruitment efforts for the course. Project...

These professional development materials are related to a hybrid, dual-credit course that was created by the Developing Photonics Education in Iowa's Rural Secondary schools project. This course and supporting materials were created to "increase the number of photonics technicians in the U.S. via...

This resource, created by Christiana Honsberg and Stuart Bowden of Arizona State University, serves as an electronic book on photovoltaics. Photovoltaics, as described by Honsberg and Bowden, "is a most elegant energy source," created when "light shines on a crystal and produces electricity." The...

This reference sheet, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network provides a valuable physical science reference sheet for high school students. Definition of terms, diagrams, abbreviations, mathematical notations, the periodic table, and other useful information is provided in...
