This lab activity from the Biotechnology Alliance for Suncoast Biology Educators (BASBE) introduces the methods of RFLP analysis, or DNA fingerprinting, by using gel electrophoresis. Students will learn the role of restriction enzymes in DNA fingerprinting. Required materials, procedure and...

This lab activity from the Biotechnology Alliance for Suncoast Biology Educators (BASBE) provides instructions for conducting a gel electrophoresis lab. Students will try to solve a paternity case with this activity by obtaining a DNA fingerprint from each potential father, the mother and the child....

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...

The consortium's mission is to bring functional genomic methods into undergraduate curriculum primarily through student research. As part of their mission, GCAT sponsors faculty workshops in DNA Microarrays and, more recently, Synthetic Biology. The consortium also provides a centralized chip reader...

This resource, provided by Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge Support Center (NACK Center), is an 18-page guide for a lab on the identification of minerals. In this lab, students will conduct experiments to determine mineral properties and identify an unknown mineral. The lab guide...

The Materials Science and Technology Teacher's Workshop (MAST) provides this experiment on forming low temperature glass. The module will allow students the chance to form low temperature glass and test for electrical conductivity. The lesson includes a step by step explanation of the laboratory...

The Materials Science and Technology Teacher's Workshop (MAST) provides this activity to look at the ways in which energy is released in chemical reactions. The class will examine plaster of paris, bromthymol blue and the hydration of baking soda. Students will observe the temperature changes of...

This resource, provided by Piedmont Virginia Community College, includes files for a project-based learning module that has students "build the basis for a temperature controlled system that is controlled by a simple microcontroller and temperature sensors." A module handout, an introduction...

This 3-page learning activity, from the Advanced Technology Environmental and Energy Center (ATEEC), provides a guide for instructors looking to give their classes hand-on experience with groundwater monitoring and sampling. The class will need access to property where at least three groundwater...

Course Description: This course, developed by the Unmanned Aircraft Systems Technology Education Consortium (UASTEC) at Del Mar College, covers the fundamentals of digital mapping with Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). "The course cover[s] the full spectrum of UAS mapping from survey design to...
