In this video provided by Bio-Link, Debbie Hawks, science teacher at Blair I.B. High School in Pasadena, California talks about the challenges in starting a high school biotech program. Finding laboratory equipment for the biotech program has been one of the biggest challenges for Hawks. Connections...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, covers the concept of semiconductor manufacturing. Students will learn how scientist "take advantage of diffusion to 'dope' or introduce atoms into a silicon wafer to change its conductive properties." The lesson...

This video, made available by the STEM Guitar Project, is a demonstration of checking pocket depths during electric guitar construction. Checking pocket depths is described as a way to ensure that the bridge saddles will not be too high during final guitar set-up. In the video Chad McCormack...

The Materials Science and Technology Teacher's Workshop (MAST) provides this activity to illustrate the heat energy that is given off during the oxidation of iron. The class will analyze commercial hand warmers and the chemical reaction that allows them to heat up inside their plastic bags. The...

Module Description: This module, from Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), provides information on "the general safety rules for facilities and laboratories that use chemicals, and [allows] students the opportunity to demonstrate their understanding of these rules." This module is...

Module Description: This module, from Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), provides students "with the information needed to interpret chemical labels and information about specific chemicals provided on NFPA [National Fire Protection Association] diamonds and to demonstrate an...

This simulation, provided by Maricopa Advanced Technology Education Center (MATEC), uses controls (drop down menus) to adjust down force and platen speed parameters to determine an optimum CMP process recipe for focal semiconductor manufacturing. Users may assume that focal is using a rotational...

This document, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, is a valuable chemistry reference sheet for high school students. Definition of terms, diagrams, abbreviations, mathematical notations, the periodic table, and other information related to nanotechnology and...
