This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, covers the concept of behavior of particles on the nanoscale. Students will learn about exploring the absorption and reflection of light "based on energy levels that are determined by size and bonding arrangements of the...

Program Description: This material was published by the Regional Center for Nuclear Education and Training (RCNET) as part of a comprehensive crosswalk that links objectives of ACAD 08-006 with GP Strategies ABC Material, NUCP Surveyed Material, NANTeL resources, EPRI resources, web resources, and...

This learning activity will provide an opportunity for students to develop their critical thinking and research skills in chemistry by asking them to investigate corrosion rates of metals and draw conclusions from their experiments. Students will measure corrosion rates in specific alloys and apply...

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...
