This lesson, created by David Hayden of St. Peter Claver Catholic School, allows students to use the scientific method to create hands-on exhibits about energy resources, how energy resources are used, and the different types of energy. The lesson introduces students to the basics of earth materials...

This lesson, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, provides students with the opportunity to "use the pure silver nanoparticles they synthesize to create antibacterial socks." Using a relatable medium like socks allows students to synthesize new information on and...

This lab manual developed by Whatcom Community College provides activities for a competition at the end of a high school cybersecurity camp. The 19 page manual contains instructions on the required tools as well as the competition schedule, overview, and rules. Each team will be "provided with a...

This collection from the Center for Renewable Energy Advanced Technological Education Resource Center (CREATE) is composed of teaching materials that highlight a lesson on dairy waste and power. The lesson examines Wisconsin and the potential use of biogas as a renewable energy resource. The...

This Dancing Magnets - Ferrofluids Lab was created by SHINE: Seattle's Hub for Industry-driven Nanotechnology Education. "This lab consists of activities designed to teach students about ferrofluids and how nanotechnology can be used to modify the properties of magnetic materials." Lab resources...

Students enrolled in introductory geospatial classes need to have access to data, which can be simply located and requires only fundamental knowledge of the software being used for the first few lessons/case studies. Jefferson Community and Technical College (JCTC) has data available in four...

This resource, published by Georgia Tech Research Institute, features an ecology and data visualization activity designed for seventh graders. In this activity, students color-code and quantify data from images of coral to evaluate the health of coral impacted by the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. The...

This lesson introduces students to sustainability concepts and ISO 14001, an international standard encouraging pollution prevention. The PowerPoint presentation which accompanies this lesson is available for download.

This module will demonstrate "the structure-properties-processing relationship fundamental to materials science." The objective of the lesson is to "explain the effects of strain hardening and annealing on engineering materials and how the resulting mechanical properties may be significantly...

This module will demonstrate "the structure-properties-processing relationship fundamental to materials science." Students will gain a further understanding of the affects of annealing as well as the effects of cold work on the properties and microstructure of copper. This is part one of a two-part...
