This lab activity from the Biotechnology Alliance for Suncoast Biology Educators (BABSE) demonstrates the biologically important properties of water, including surface tension, cohesion, adhesion, capillary action, solubility, and heat capacity. The lesson includes background information on water...

This lab activity, developed by Jeffrey Lane, demonstrates the complexity of locating and extracting mineral and energy resources. Students will take eight core samples and then locate them on a grid. Students will then analyze the samples and create a three-dimensional diagram containing different...

This 7-page lab guide, created by by the Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge Network at Pennsylvania State University, features an activity where students "analyze the thicknesses of a series of aluminum thin films deposited in the Cooke thermal evaporator." The lab guide includes...

This 2-page lab guide, created by the Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge Support (NACK) Center at Pennsylvania State University, features an online laboratory on gold nucleation analysis that "investigates surface mobility properties and analyze surface nucleation as a result of heat...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, covers the concept of behavior of particles on the nanoscale. Students will learn about exploring the absorption and reflection of light "based on energy levels that are determined by size and bonding arrangements of the...

Toolkit Description: RCNET Radiation Protection Toolkit: Texas State Technical College is from the RCNET Comprehensive Teaching Toolkit: Radiation Protection which is drawn from curriculum taught in the Associate in Applied Science with a Major in Radiation Protection Technology program at Aiken...

This lab guide, created by the Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge Network at Pennsylvania State University, features a laboratory activity where students work with the "dry etch process and determine the resultant etch rates of multiple materials by analyzing data obtained throughout...

This three-page activity guide from Edmonds Community College provides a laboratory activity teaching students about the reactivity of iron. Students observe the reactivity of iron in flame and water, and observe two types of iron oxidation. This activity demonstrates the effects different material...

This learning activity will provide an opportunity for students to develop their critical thinking and research skills in chemistry by asking them to investigate corrosion rates of metals and draw conclusions from their experiments. Students will measure corrosion rates in specific alloys and apply...

This 2-page activity, from the Advanced Technology Environmental and Energy Center, covers how aluminum is recycled. Special equipment, including a heat source capable of melting aluminum and an outdoor work area are required to complete the lesson. Extension activities are also provided.
