This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, covers the concept of material properties. Students will create a microfluidic device to show "the importance of channel design in biotechnology and nanotechnology and the methods used to study the behavior of fluids as...

As genetics and genomics research advances rapidly through the knowledge gained from the completed human DNA sequence, teachers and educators require new classroom tools to present the rich history, complexity and excitement of the world of genetics and genomics. These teaching resources include...

This site, created by Venkatesh Merwade of Purdue University, offers tutorials relating to GIS and water resources modeling. Topic areas covered are hydraulic and hydrologic modeling, GIS and hydrologic modeling and downloading geospatial and temporal data for hydrologic/hydraulic modeling. All...

This introductory manual, GIS Basics: Working with ArcExplorer 9, was created by the Penn State University Cooperative Extension Geospatial Technology Program and is meant to supplement the education of 4-H students interested in GIS technologies. This manual covers the fundamentals of GIS,...

Module Description: This module, from Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), provides "information on hazardous materials and how these materials could affect one's health and the safety of the working environment." This module is divided into the following five units: HazMat I and II...

This resource, published by Georgia Tech Research Institute, features a mathematics data visualization activity designed for eighth graders. In this activity, students use a computer simulation to collect data on helmet safety in order to act as crash-test scientists make a recommendations on...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, covers the concept of semiconductor manufacturing. Students will learn about selective layering which is used to "build up some layers of patterned material so that very interesting things start to happen, like using...

This resource, published by Georgia Tech Research Institute, features a mathematics activity designed for eighth graders. In this activity, students "define extraction logistics using the Pythagorean Theorem and the linear equation for distance, rate and time." Doing this, students create a...

This demonstration, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, exposes students to the functionality of catalysts on a nanoscale. This lesson is "a great way to introduce or review reactants, catalysts, and adsorption, desorption, and diffusion. Use this demonstration after...

This lesson, from National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, teaches students about the properties of materials. During the lesson, students will learn about superhydrophobic coated materials in contrast to uncoated materials. Ateacher's preparatory guide with lesson diagrams, pictures,...
