The Materials Science and Technology Teacher's Workshop (MAST) provides this experiment on electrical resistance and glass. The module involves breaking the glass from a light bulb and then measuring the resistance across the bulb's electrodes. The lesson includes a step by step explanation of the...

This lesson, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, allows students a chance to experiment using the electro-plating process to produce nanowires. In addition to learning about the production of these components, students will gain a greater understanding of "...

This resource, provided by Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge Support Center (NACK Center), is a 12-page guide for a lab on the electrodeposition of nickel nanowires. Upon completion of the lab, students should be able to "understand the process of electroplating and its use at the...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, covers the concept of chemical reactions. Students will learn how "a flow of electrons allows cations in solution to revert to a solid state while plating an object" as well as "the process which allows the ions of the...

This 2-page lab guide, created by the Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge Support (NACK) Center at Pennsylvania State University, is for a laboratory activity that teaches students electron beam (e-beam) lithography. Upon completing the activity, "students will learn about the basics of...

This 11-page lab, by eSyst: Tools for Electronics Education, provides practical experience with short-range wireless equipment. "The experiment provides activities to analyze the organization and operation of a common UHF transceiver, range calculation and measurement, and antenna radiation...

This collection, provided by eSyst: Tools for Electronics Education, includes an instructor and student guide for a software defined radio (SDR) familiarization lab. The purpose of this lab is "to familiarize students with the architecture and operation of a software-defined radio (SDR)." The lab...

This collection, provided by eSyst: Tools for Electronics Education, includes an 8-page student guide and a 6-page instructor guide for a Transmission Line Measurements lab. This lab "aims to familiarize students with common measurements on coaxial transmission lines." The lab includes a purpose,...

The Materials Science and Technology Teacher's Workshop (MAST) provides this lesson plan which will help students understand the characteristics of basic electronic devices such as diodes, rectifiers, photocells, thermistors, integrated circuits and transistors. Students will get the chance to...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, covers the concept of electroplating. Students will learn how "an electric current passed through an ionic solution will result in a chemical reaction which will separate materials" by creating thin layers of copper and...
