The Materials Science and Technology Teacher's Workshop (MAST) provides this lesson plan for students learning about concrete. The class will "calculate the amount of water that reacts during hydration when cement becomes concrete under differing curing temperatures and observe the pH change that...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, covers the concept of measurement on the nanoscale. During this exercise, students will learn about the size of a nanometer, converting between nanometers and other units of length, and giving examples of real life...

This demonstration, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, exposes students to the functionality of catalysts on a nanoscale. This lesson is "a great way to introduce or review reactants, catalysts, and adsorption, desorption, and diffusion. Use this demonstration after...

The Materials Science and Technology Teacher's Workshop (MAST) provides this lesson plan for students learning about concrete. The purpose of the activity is to "determine the density of a concrete sample and to learn the effect of various types of aggregates on concrete's density." The experiment...

This lesson, from National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, teaches students about the properties of materials. During the lesson, students will learn about superhydrophobic coated materials in contrast to uncoated materials. Ateacher's preparatory guide with lesson diagrams, pictures,...

This 1-page document provided by AgrowKnowledge includes a template and instructions for doing a lab write-up. This template explains that "Writing a report clarifies and reinforces the concepts of the lab." The following sections are included: Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results and...

This 16-page resource, from the STEM Guitar Project, includes information about guitar humidity and dry guitar symptoms, a guitar humidifier construction activity, and a laboratory experiment. The activity teaches students how to make a guitar case humidifier and includes a 12-question quiz and...

This module consists of a presentation and lab on the topic of Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) safety, and were developed to enhance automotive courses with HEV technologies through a seed grant from the Center for Advanced Automotive Technology (CAAT). In the presentation, some safety considerations...

These nine Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) Automotive labs were developed by Lewis and Clark Community College to modify National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF) certified courses with HEV technologies.
