This webpage includes two quadratic equation videos that are a part of a series of lessons on math provided by DeafTEC. Gary Blatto-Vallee, a math and science instructor at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf, guides viewers through a variety of mathematical exercises in this DeafTEC video...

The ATETV project delivers web-based videos to connect students to careers in advanced technology. This episode of ATETV discusses quality documentation. The ability to take and maintain good notes is critical to professional success. Specifically, viewers will see students learn to take proper...

In this activity, students "compare the net energy and/or net greenhouse gases (GHG) emitted during the life cycle production of ethanol from switchgrass, diverse prairie and corn stover." Students will construct scenarios based on the data and business rules provided in the package from Microsoft...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers the concept of behavior of particles on the nanoscale. Students will learn about exploring the absorption and reflection of light "based on energy levels that are determined by size and bonding arrangements of the...

This website is from the US Environmental Protection Agency on Radiation Protection. This website includes links to the Radiation Protection Document Library, Radiation Protection Basics, Regulations, and Radiation Response. 

Teachers' Domain presents this video as part of a series on advanced technological education. In the clip, students describe what is involved in rapid prototyping technology, including how three-dimensional models are produced. The video presents a student’s point of view on the educational...

In this laboratory exercise, students will be introduced to the oxidation / corrosion of iron from two different sources (flame and water). From the examination of corrosion from multiple sources, students will be able to compare and contrast the effects each has on the iron samples. Students will...

This learning activity will provide an opportunity for students to develop their critical thinking and research skills in chemistry by asking them to investigate corrosion rates of metals and draw conclusions from their experiments. Students will measure corrosion rates in specific alloys and apply...

This lesson, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers nanotechnology in literature and culture. The purpose of the lesson is for students to "read and analyze science outside of their textbooks." At the end of the lesson, students discuss nanotechnology's implications...

This article published on March 14, 2006, tells about the record-breaking detector that may aid in nuclear inspections. Scientists at the Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have designed and demonstrated the world's most accurate gamma ray detector, which is...
