The website provides information on the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA). NSTA was founded in 1944 and is the largest organization in the world committed to promoting excellence and innovation in science teaching and learning for all. NSTA's membership includes science teachers, science...

This video, from the 2021 Esri Education Summit, explores Esri's education resources. Resources cover a variety of topics, such as geography, environment, business, and health. Resources also provides a variety of capabilities, such as mapping, analysis, and data collection. In the video, an...

This video, provided by the Nebraska Nanoscale Facility (NNF), offers a tour of a characterization room. Characterization, or "surface metrology" is "the measurement of small-scale features on surfaces." Instruments featured in the facility tour include tools to measure topology, thickness, and...

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 simulation, provided by the Nebraska Nanoscale Facility (NNF), describes the process of etching; the simulation shows how the process of etching in microfabrication removes layers of the surface being etched. This surface is called the wafer, and the parts of the surface which are not meant to...

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...

This website is provided by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and includes resources for students and educators about Nonpoint Source (NPS) Pollution. Sections of this website include NPS Pollution Activities for Students, Other Resources Specific to NPS Pollution, and Additional...

This lesson, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers the general concepts of measurement by using a pool noodle to measure objects. The activity "encourages students to consider features that are useful when developing or using a measurement tool." The lesson...

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 resource, from SRI International, is an on-line, standards-based, resource bank of science performance assessment tasks indexed via the National Science Education Standards (NSES) and various other standards frameworks. The resources are "collected from numerous sources, include student...
