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...

Module Description: This module, created by the Center for Nanotechnology Education (Nano-Link), introduces students to photolithography, "the process of copying a high-resolution pattern onto multiple substrates." During the module learning activity (Option A) students "replicate key parts of the...

This video from CUNY Kingsborough Community College describes the process of pipetting. The brief demonstration is described step by step and would be easy to replicate in a laboratory setting. Running time for the video is 2:27.

The Materials Science and Technology Teacher's Workshop (MAST) provides this lesson plan for students learning about polymers. The class will observe the physical properties of various plastics for rigidity, color, density and texture. The objective of the experiment is "to test and compare the...

This video from CUNY Kingsborough Community College shows how to pour 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 2:13.

This video from CUNY Kingsborough Community College describes the technique of preparing to pour 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 3:22.

This video segment, adapted from ATETV, looks at the Process Technology program at the College of the Mainland and what students will learn in order to succeed in industry. The video explains how the community college accommodates the busy lives of adult non-traditional students while still giving...

This lesson, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, covers the properties of water flow. Students will "observe and understand the way fluids interact with a stationary phase for example, chromatography paper." Next, students will create a list of questions they have...
