This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, covers the concept of wave properties. During this lab, students will learn how light waves interact with matter. The activity is "analogous to light traveling through optical media having different indices of refraction...

This exercise, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, covers the concept of waveguides. Students will explore the "angle of incidence, angle of refraction, and how light is transmitted through a waveguide for communication." Students have the option to do this lesson as...

This lesson, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, introduces the social and ethical issues of nanotechnology. In this activity, students will explore "possible social issues through case studies using popular films, books, and news stories. The lesson is intended to...

These lab activities were developed by Rick Parker and are provided by AgrowKnowledge and focus on using photography in environmental science classes. The lab activities include Examples of Using Digital Photography in the Classroom and Environmental Science Laboratory: Photographing the...

This lab activity from the Biotechnology Alliance for Suncoast Biology Educators (BASBE) demonstrates the principles of spectrophotometry. It also allows students to develop a testable hypothesis about the chlorophyll concentration in different olive oil solutions. The lesson includes background...

This 12-page lab guide, created by the Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge Support (NACK) Center at Pennsylvania State University, is for a 2-part laboratory activity that reinforces "classroom theory of vacuum systems with the hands-on creation of two types of vacuum systems." During...

This learning activity will provide an introduction to the tools used for hardness testing of various materials through either in-class demonstration or a PowerPoint presentation and lab combination, depending on the preference of the educator and equipment available. Students will learn about the...

This website from the Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) at the University of Wisconsin - Madison offers a series of videos on nanotechnology and advanced materials; each video explores science and engineering concepts at the college level. In addition to step-by-step...
