This video, made available by the Northeast Advanced Technological Education Center (NEATEC), is part of the NEATEC Digital Electronics Series from Professor Roger Young. This video describes shift registers, including serial, parallel, and rotation. This video runs 24:09 minutes in length.

There are many curriculum materials, professional development, and student enrichment activities available on this website. These resources are designed for teachers and students ranging from K-12 through higher education. Most resources are interactive and engage the students on many different...

This website, from Sierra College, offers Science, Technology, Engineering & Math (STEM) integrated curriculum resources. Lessons and reports are available for educators, as well as resources, information on STEM schools, and more. Sections for students and business partners are also offered. 

This video, created by Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), is an animation which shows the viewer how to make an origami 3-D crystal from a template developed by Jack Judy at UCLA. Through this animation, "the 3-D crystal allows you to "see" the different planes of a silicon crystal,...

Created by Patrick Hoppe of the Wisconsin Online Resource Center, this primer introduces the student to the key terms and concepts associated with the silicon diode. This is a nice introductory flash presentation for those interested in this topic.

This 30-minute video is the condensed, non-technical version of Silicon Run I and Silicon Run II. It combines key segments from both films to provide an overview of semiconductor and computer manufacturing. It is most suitable for either advanced high school students or first year college students...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, teaches students how to measure the efficiency of a solar cell. Students will compare the output power of a silicon PV cell with the input power of incandescent light bulbs illuminating the PV from a set distance. A Teacher's...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers the concepts of material properties. Students will study the antimicrobial properties of silver nanoparticles and "document and communicate the entire process via their scientific notebook." A Teacher Preparation...

This lesson, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, provides students with the opportunity to "use the pure silver nanoparticles they synthesize to create antibacterial socks." Using a relatable medium like socks allows students to synthesize new information on and...

This lesson, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers "the differences in physical properties at the nanoscale as compared to the same materials at the macroscale. The students will demonstrate the appropriate use of a spectrophotometer and will convert between...
