This video, made available by the Center for Nanotechnology Education (Nano-Link), provides an overview of safety measures for a nanoparticle synthesis laboratory. In the video students are shown demonstrating safety measures in a nanoscience laboratory for the following topics: planning, storage...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, introduces students to the intersection between plastics, nanotechnology, and aquatic ecosystems. Students will "model how nanoparticle pollution travels from land to water. This lab is part 1 of a 2-part series of labs...

This video from CUNY Kingsborough Community College describes negative staining. The brief demonstration is described step by step and would be easy to replicate in a laboratory setting. Running time for the video is 1:32.

Toolkit Description:  This NET-230 Chemistry course is from the RCNET Comprehensive Teaching Toolkit: Fundamentals, and is drawn from curriculum taught in the Nuclear Systems Technology program at Midlands Technical College. The program is designed to train nuclear systems technicians to work in...

This activity, provided by the Advanced Technology Environmental and Energy Center (ATEEC), uses Google Earth way points to take students on a virtual field trip through oil refineries in Alaska. The way points include descriptions, links to resources (such as articles, videos, etc.), and in-class...

This video from CUNY Kingsborough Community College describes the parts of a micropipette. The demonstrator describes each part of the device and what it is used for. Running time for the video is 2:45.

This video from CUNY Kingsborough Community College describes how to perform a gram strain. The brief demonstration is described step by step and would be easy to replicate in a laboratory setting. Running time for the video is 1:46.

This image shows each element of the periodic table represented by a picture of something that contains that element. For example, sulfur depicts a picture of egg yolks. Symbol and color keys are included. 

This 2-page learning activity, from the Advanced Technology Environmental and Energy Center (ATEEC), asks students to perform chemical analysis on different substances (common items like shampoo, vinegar and baking soda can be used) according to standard procedural methods. Information on learning...

The Materials Science and Technology Teacher's Workshop (MAST) provides this demonstration on the phase transition of high carbon steel. The crystalline structure of iron is different at different temperatures, and high-carbon steel alloys undergo a transformation from BCC to FCC in a very small...
