This 4-page learning activity, from the Advanced Technology Environmental and Energy Center (ATEEC), demonstrates how epidemics are spread and the importance of condom use for preventing the spread of AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases. The activity is intended for high school or community...

This video, from the North Dakota State College of Science, features the work of Ross Nanotechnology, a company which uses superhydrophobic technology. The video demonstration will help to facilitate discussion about how companies use this type of technology to create products as well as the...

This video from CUNY Kingsborough Community College shows the process of running an agarose gel. The video describes the process step by step and would be easy to replicate in a laboratory setting. Running time for the video is 2:52.

How did Rutherford figure out the structure of the atomic nucleus without looking at it? Simulate the famous experiment in which he disproved the Plum Pudding model of the atom by observing alpha particles bouncing off atoms and determining that they must have a small core. This simulation of a...

Module Description: This module, from Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), provides content and activities that allow the participants to locate safety data sheets, extract information, and compare the potential hazards of two or more chemicals. "MEMS (microelectromechanical systems)...

This 34-page teachers guide, provided by Maricopa Advanced Technology Education Center (MATEC), includes semiconductor science activities. The student activities in this packet are designed to be incorporated into a standard high school chemistry curriculum. The intent is to provide the student with...

This 2-page activity provides a real world application of the Advanced Technology Environmental and Energy Center's Recommended Core Curriculum. This curriculum was identified by ATEEC Fellows as necessary preparation for environmental technology occupations. In this activity, students experiment...

This experiment, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers Shape Memory Alloys or Smart Materials. A Smart Material or Shape Memory Alloys belongs to a class of materials which displays the shape memory effect (SME); they possess the ability to radically change crystal...

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,...

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...
