This manual, created by Los Angeles Mission College, supports the study of trigonometry for biology majors. Included are worksheets, test review questions, and answer keys pertaining to topics like trigonometric and inverse trigonometric functions, graphing, and vectors and polar coordinates. The...

Presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, this two-part laboratory activity was designed to complement any chemistry unit on catalysts to "help students understand how nanoparticles may be more effective catalysts by investigating how the surface area-to-volume ratio of a...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, uses silver nanoplates as a tool to explore the relationship between shape and optical properties. Students will be able to compare material properties and behaviors at both the nano- and macroscale through the exercise,...

In this lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, students are prompted to think critically about examining the world around them. These flexible lessons will allow students to use magnifying glasses and microscopes to observe structures and gather information. For...

This lesson, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, covers size, scale, and measurement. In the first part of the activity, students will view the classic Power of 10 video before measuring various objects in the classroom. In the second part, size effects in chemical...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, teaches students which patients, from a variety of samples, have diabetes. Students will measure "...the glucose concentration of several synthetic blood and urine samples..." This contains a 13-page teacher guide, that...

This role playing activity, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, covers both methods of scientific inquiry and problem solving. In this activity, students will "use the skills of scientific inquiry to uncover the most likely perpetrator of a crime, and employ a paper...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, covers the concepts of material properties. Students will use "electrochemistry techniques to generate colloidal silver and then utilize the colloidal silver to determine if the growth of the bacteria Saccharomyces...

In this lab, from National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, students will study nanoparticles, specifically dilutions of gold and silver. Students will study brine shrimp and explore "...the effects of exposing living organisms to different nanoparticles at various concentrations." There...

This lesson, from the Northern Wyoming Community College District, focuses on the geology of nonrenewable energy resources, including coal, oil, and oil shale. Over the course of the lesson students create a model of geological strata; compare and contrast the heat content and geologic structure of...
