10 Simple and Effective In-Class Experiments and Demonstrations for Materials Education

“10 Simple and Effective In-class Experiments and Demonstrations for Materials Education–An Overview,” is a formal evaluation of 10 basic activities which can be utilized in classrooms from the elementary level through undergraduate. The modules evaluated during this review were compiled by Professor Tom Stoebe, a former Professor of Material Science and Engineering at the University of Washington, and are intended to provide educators with short, introductory demonstrations to Material Science. The 10 activities span a wide range of material classes from metals to polymers, providing students with a brief introduction into an assortment of material science concepts.
