Module Description: This module was created by the Regional Center for Nuclear Education and Training (RCNET) and “is an introduction to general robotics, robot operating systems, and the benefits and applications of robotics in nuclear technology." The module discusses what a robot is and the...

In this laboratory exercise, students will be introduced to the oxidation / corrosion of iron from two different sources (flame and water). From the examination of corrosion from multiple sources, students will be able to compare and contrast the effects each has on the iron samples. Students will...

This lesson, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, covers nanotechnology in literature and culture. The purpose of the lesson is for students to "read and analyze science outside of their textbooks." At the end of the lesson, students discuss nanotechnology's...

Lesson Description: This lesson is the fifth of nine lessons from the Vocational Math: Contextualized for Construction course that was taught at Madison Area Technical College. This lesson is a contextualized application for Pythagorean theorem, starting with students working in groups to create...

This Right Angle Trigonometry lesson, from the Contextualize to Learn project at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, is part of a series of seven applied electronics math lessons. This lesson starts with an introduction to angles and triangles, similar triangles, scaling, the Pythagorean theorem,...

This lesson, from the Northern Wyoming Community College District, focuses on radiation and the differentiation of safe and dangerous radiation. The acquisition and transfer of energy is discussed to help students better understand and compare the many sources of radiation. Students begin by taking...

This project, created by Roy Pratima, has students look at the practice of utilizing geological principles and apply geological concepts to the discovery of rocks to understand the different forms of energy found within different rocks and soils. Individually, students will use the Internet to...

Published by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, this hour-long activity has students "simulate the function of a scanning probe microscope" by creating their own scanning probe microscope (SPM) boxes. The Teacher's Guide contains everything the instructor needs to carry out the...

This website, maintained by creator Bill Beaty, contains general science topics for study. Instructions for different science experiments are listed. Everything from super neodymium magnets, ten dollar infrared googles, and drawing holograms by hand can be found here. 

This series parallel circuits lesson, from the Contextualize to Learn project at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, is part of a series of seven applied electronics math lessons. This lesson applies linear equations to predict the behavior of electronic components when voltage is applied. Base...
