This lesson, from the Technological Education Pathways Partnership (TEPP), compares some of the different light bulbs available to consumers. Light bulb types examined include incandescent, LED, and compact fluorescent lamp. Three PowerPoint presentations outline a test the output of incandescent...

The Marine Advanced Technology Education (MATE) Center hosts summer institutes at their Monterey, CA campus each year. This photostream, hosted by Flickr, provides some photos from the event.

In this activity, students examine the relationship between soil microbes and carbon cycling through self-designed experiments exploring “microbial respiration rates and soil variables such as temperature, habitat, soil type, and agricultural management choices.” Three different techniques for...

This 178-page textbook, developed by the National Center for Optics and Photonics Education (OP-TEC), is intended for use in an introductory course on precision optics fabrication and photonics. This textbook could also be used for programs designed for retraining or updating the skills of...

This resource, from the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, is a module that covers mixtures and nanotechnology. The main idea of this module is to introduce the idea to students that the classification of mixtures is based on the size of particles. Students will also be prompted to...

The Molecular Expressions website features photo galleries that explore the fascinating world of optical microscopy. The site offers a large collection of color photographs taken through an optical microscope (commonly referred to as "photo-micro-graphs"). The Photo Gallery contains an introductory...

These slides, from the Technological Education Pathways Partnership (TEPP), lead students in a teardown activity to examine the components of a motion sensing light device. Wiring is exposed to add a manual toggle switch and then measure voltage and current. This setup can the be used to compare the...

This webpage, created by Chris Orfescu, uses art to explain the processes of nanotechnology.  Using microscopes to photograph subatomic particles, Orfescu creates nanolandscapes and nanosculptures by "manipulating matter at molecular and atomic scales using chemical and physical processes."  There...

This PowerPoint provided by AgrowKnowledge includes photographs of a homemade ethanol still. The photographs are accompanied with information on how the still was made and the materials used. Some of the materials used to build the still include plywood, stanchions, a borosilicate glass flask, a...

This resource from the Center for Advanced Automotive Technology (CAAT) contains a chart describing the components of electrified vehicle systems based on the vehicle drive system. Vehicle drive systems in the chart include conventional internal combustion engine, start/stop, mild hybrid electric...
