This video, provided by the Nebraska Nanoscale Facility (NNF), offers a tour of a deposition area of a nanoscale facility. Deposition, or electron-beam physical vapor deposition, is a process that creates thin films or coatings; materials created through this process are often used in electronics. ...

This video, provided by the Nebraska Nanoscale Facility (NNF), offers a tour of a photolithography room. Photolithography, also known as optical lithography or UV lithography is "a process used in microfabrication to pattern parts of a thin film or the bulk of a substrate," using "light to transfer...

The New Mexico Solar Energy Association provides educational resources for teaching students about solar energy. The site has a variety of student projects, resources, and curricula examples. The resources provided on the site cover solar cell demonstrations, DC electricity, photovoltaics, and...

This lesson, created by Callan Bentley, introduces students to the concept of fossil fuel reservoirs within Laramide basins of Wyoming. Students will use case studies as examples to guide a simulated exploration activity in which they will map and interpret the distribution of oil and coal...

This lesson plan, from the Contextualize to Learn project at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, provides an opportunity to introduce students to the real number line. In this lesson, students work individually and in pairs to create fraction strips and number lines, using base-ten blocks to...

Created by the Stanford Solar Center, this collection of activities serve as guides for those interested in observing the sun. Information on building pinhole cameras, using telescopes, accessing an online solar telescope, observing eclipses, and sketching sunspots is included. Intended for K-12...

This activity for high school students from the Florida Advanced Technological Education (FLATE) Center teaches students concepts of technical drafting/drawing. Through the design of an architectural/engineering space, students will gain a better understanding of the importance of measurement,...

This webpage from the Ohio Oil and Gas Energy Education Program will assist classes learning about natural gas, crude oil and fuel production. The page is divided into six sections, focusing on formation, migration, exploration, drilling and production, refinement and finally, end products. Each...
