In this short video from Advanced Technological Education Television (ATETV), biomanufacturing is defined, and the role of biomanufacturing in the pharmaceutical industry is discussed. Biomanufacturing is the use of living organisms, or parts of them, to create or develop vaccines or other drugs....

The ATETV project delivers web-based videos to connect students to careers in advanced technology. This episode from ATETV asks the question, "What is GIS?" and explores biomanufacturing and information and communications technologies. The episode can be watched in full or through the three...

This PowerPoint presentation from the Florida Advanced Technological Education (FLATE) Center provides an introduction to general manufacturing. The material focuses on manufacturing that is Florida based, but would be useful for students in other regions as well. The presentation demonstrates the...

This webpage from Edmonds Community College provides a brief introduction to the topic of general materials science. "Materials science focuses on the relationship between the atomic and molecular structure of a material, the properties of the material (such as strength, electrical conductivity or...

This video, provided by the University of Cambridge, was created for the NANOYOU Project and is intended as a resource for students, teachers, and anyone interested in a quick introduction to nanoscience. Researchers are shown exploring topics such as light at the nanoscale, hydrophilic surfaces,...

This 4-page resource is provided by Seattle's Hub for Industry-driven Nanotechnology Education (SHINE) and provides information about nanotechnology. This resource includes a brief description about nanotechnology, a short microscope image/macroscale picture activity, real-life examples, career...

The Materials Science and Technology Teacher's Workshop (MAST) provides this activity as a vehicle to examine the I-V characteristics of a diode versus a resistor. The exercise will measure the voltage drop across both a diode and a resistor as voltage is varied. Students will then discover the...

This activity is provided by Stanford Solar Center and explores ultraviolet light. The activity explores questions about ultraviolet light such as "what it is, where it comes from, how we can detect it, and what effects it has upon us and our Earth." The activity includes student prerequisites,...

Unit Description: FLATE, the Florida Advanced Technological Education Center for Manufacturing, has developed a series of “Made in Florida” lesson plans to prepare students for careers in manufacturing. These Lesson Plans are intended to enrich science, technology, engineering, and mathematics...

The Materials Science and Technology Teacher's Workshop (MAST) provides this activity as an introduction to the physical properties of matter. The objective of this laboratory is to identify different classes of matter based on their physical properties, specifically the ingredients of concrete. The...
