The Materials Science and Technology Teacher's Workshop (MAST) provides this activity as an introduction to the the photoconductive properties of semiconductors. The lab aims to "quantitatively determine how the electrical resistance of a cadmium sulfide photocell varies as a function of light...

The Materials Science and Technology Teacher's Workshop (MAST) provides this lesson plan for students learning about polymers. The class will produce an addition polymer using a free radical initiator. A step by step procedure is included in the document. A basic review of the scientific principles...

This video, made available by the STEM Guitar Project, was recorded at the Guitar Build Institute held at Aptos Middle School in San Francisco, California in 2018. In the video Steve Brown demonstrates leveling the fretboard with the truss rod during electric guitar construction. The video runs 7:06...

In this lesson module from the Lane Community College ARC GIS program, students use a web-based GIS map of the Lewis and Clark expedition to explore the importance of physical and cultural geography during western expansion. Additionally, students will develop skills including identifying the query,...

This 25-page report, from Lenape High School, describes the design and construction of the underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) created by the LHS Horizon team for the Ranger Class of the 2022 MATE ROV competition. MATE ROV is a global competition that challenges STEM students to build...

Students are required to compare various alternative fuels and evaluate advantages and disadvantages using graphical representations of fuel and energy data. "This activity asks students to begin to consider the life cycle energy and carbon dioxide emission costs of gasoline, corn ethanol, and...

This video, created by Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), provides an overview of the LIGA (Lithography, Electroplating, and Molding) technique for micromachining. The lecture runs for 7:25 seconds and describes LIGA as part of micromachining fabrication, including lithography,...

This animation, created by Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), provides an overview of the LIGA micromachining process. Here, viewers will learn about the functionality of this process, including how its use for the "fabrication of high aspect ratio micro-sized components. This...

Kit Description: This Light and Optics Experiment Kit was created by LASER-TEC and is available for purchase.
