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 lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, covers the concept of nanomotors. Students will learn about nanometers through hands-on experiments which "explore nanoscale propulsion principles and guide students in recognizing and analyzing differences between...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, introduces students to the interaction between plastics, nanotechnology, and the natural world. Students will "understand how nanoparticles in our oceans can carry toxic pollutants into our cells, and how this may...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, introduces students to the intersection between plastics, nanotechnology, and aquatic ecosystems. During the lab, students will "model how nanoparticle pollution travels from land to water. This lab is part 1 of a 2-part...

This lesson, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, covers scanning probe microscopes. A scanning probe microscope traces "surface features by movement of a very fine pointed tip mounted on a flexible arm across a surface." Students will experiment with using their...

This 92-page manual contains information on safety and health for electrical trades. Sections include Burns Caused by Electricity, Recognizing Hazards, Evaluating Hazards, and Controlling Hazards. A glossary of terms is included at the end for those new to fields involving electricity.

This lesson, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, covers the general concepts of measurement by using a pool noodle to measure objects. The activity "encourages students to consider features that are useful when developing or using a measurement tool." The lesson...

This lesson, created by Callan Bentley, introduces students to the concept of fossil fuel reservoirs within Laramide basins of Wyoming. Students will use case studies as examples to guide a simulated exploration activity in which they will map and interpret the distribution of oil and coal...

This lesson plan, from the Contextualize to Learn project at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, provides an opportunity to introduce students to the real number line. In this lesson, students work individually and in pairs to create fraction strips and number lines, using base-ten blocks to...

This 43-page student workbook was created to supplement the Summer Energy Education Program, offered by the Northern Wyoming Community College District from 2010 through 2012 with funding from a National Science Foundation's Advanced Technology Education grant. The program was designed to serve...
