The Materials Science and Technology Teacher's Workshop (MAST) provides this activity for classes learning about diodes and electrical currents. The laboratory illustrates how diodes can be used to rectify alternating current. It uses a galvanometer to determine the direction of current flow when an...

This lesson, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, uses an EasyBake oven and edible materials as a means to interest younger students in nanotechnology. The creation of a 'wafer' in the EasyBake oven simulates concepts in chip fabrication for electronic devices, such as...

This module consists of a lab, PowerPoint presentation, and modified syllabus which all relate to Toyota's continuously variable Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) transmission. All materials were developed under a seed grant from the Center for Advanced Automotive Technology (CAAT). The PowerPoint...

This PowerPoint presentation and lab provide a general overview of Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) and the technologies powering them. Both were developed to enhance automotive courses with HEV technologies through seed funding from the Center for Advanced Automotive Technology (CAAT). The included...

This video, from the Ohio State University, demonstrates how to set up an experiment in anaerobic digestion for bioenergy production using common household items, including vinegar, baking soda, and water bottles. The video is intended to introduce educators to the process for the purpose of...

This 63-page lab manual was developed by North Georgia Technical College for its Aquaculture course. The manual is organized into the following 10 lab exercises: pond construction, dissolved oxygen, aquaponics, economics, marketing aquaculture products, feed formulation experiment, phytoplankton and...

The Materials Science and Technology Teacher's Workshop (MAST) provides this experiment on the basic particle model for metals. The activity uses Bbs in a Petri dish to simulate the formation and movement of metal atoms as well as show dislocation and vacancy movement. Students will fill a Petri...

Description: This Automotive Cybersecurity for Automotive Technicians course introduces students to "the potential threats of cyber-attacks on vehicles, especially connected and automated vehicles." Topics covered include: Understanding Threat Models, Bus Protocols & Vehicle Communication,...

Micropipets are used in almost all biotechnology experiments. These precise instruments allow for the dispensing of extremely small volumes. This laboratory exercise will teach students to learn how to operate a micropipet, understand measuring volumes in microliters, and convert metric volumes....

This video from Laser-Tec is part of a series of light and optics experiments. This lab explores beam expanding collimators. Through this lab, participants learn about laser beam collimation, optical components for collimating a laser beam, and how one determines the distance between two lenses in a...
