This lab activity was created by SHINE: Seattle's Hub for Industry-driven Nanotechnology Education and is designed to teach students about microfluidics. Lab resources include the Microfluidic Droplets Lab, safety data sheets, and an instructor guide. The 16-page lab includes a pre-lab assignment,...

This security monitor and control lab, provided by eSyst: Tools for Electronics Education, is intended to be a quick starting point for students to learn Assembly language using the Freescale Code Warrior development system. In this lab, "the onboard switches are used to simulate arm switch and...

Module Description: This module, from Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), provides an introduction to the "micropump, how it works and where it is used in microtechnology." The module contains information on micropumps, macropumps, the differences between mechanical and non-mechanical...

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...

Module Description: This module, from Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), covers the fabrication process of a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) process sensor. The module was originally designed to support a one week workshop where students build micro-sized pressure sensors. The...

This classroom module will help students understand "how a polymer based multilayered coating method can be used to control the release of biological agents for different applications." The experiment is described step by step in the document; photographs are also included. The activity is intended...

This lesson plan, from the Contextualize to Learn project at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, is an exploration in multiplying decimal numbers. In this lesson, students work individually and in pairs to solve application problems using multiple methods. This lesson plan includes both student and...

This lesson plan, from the Contextualize to Learn project at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, is an exploration in contextualized applications of multiplying fractions. In this lesson, students work in pairs to perform multiplication with models, drawings, and equations, and solve application...

This lesson plan, from the Contextualize to Learn project at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, is an exploration in contextualized applications of multiplication. In this lesson, students work in pairs to define multiplication as groups consisting of equal number of objects. Students will also...

This module, created by the Center for Nanotechnology Education (Nano-Link), introduces students to nanoparticles. During the learning activity students "make gold nanoparticles through a chemical process, and examine their optical properties." Learning outcomes for this module are: Understand...
