This interactive presentation, created by James Bourassa and John Rosz for the Electromechanical Digital Library, discusses the calculation of horsepower, RPMs, and torque. Bourassa and Rosz begin by providing detailed definitions of all three topics and then provide mathematical examples for...
This video and online calculator show how to calculate the molecular weight of a substance from the atomic weights given on the periodic table. Use the molecular weight to convert between the macroscopic scale (grams of a substance) and the microscopic scale (number of molecules of that substance)....
The Manufacturing and Product Development sector provides a foundation in manufacturing processes and systems, including machine tool, welding, graphic communications, and graphic design, for secondary students in California. Students engage in an instructional program that integrates academic and...
This collection of videos, from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine, features researchers as they "explain the basics of stem cell research and discuss the many hurdles in translating the basic research into new therapies."

This 15-page paper, from the Wisconsin Center for Education, presents the results of a study investigating whether adapting instruction to gender preferences can improve the attitudes of students and their performance in mathematics. The study found that there was no effect on performance based on...
The objective of this learning activity is to "create an awareness of carbon nanotubes (CNT) and how their use in future applications within the field of nanotechnology can benefit our society." This will be achieved through the use of hands-on models that explore bonding and molecular geometry....
This lab activity from the Biotechnology Alliance for Suncoast Biology Educators (BABSE) is intended to demonstrate appropriate use of a microscope. It covers the basic care and operation of a compound light microscope. The lesson includes information on how a compound microscope works, a diagram of...
