Wet Oxidation Process
No full textIn this YouTube video, created by Southwest Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), viewers can watch an animation on the wet oxidation process. This animation "illustrates the chemistry of a wet thermal oxidation process that is used to grow silicon dioxide (SiO2) on a silicon (Si) wafer. In a wet oxidation process, water vapor (H2O) interacts with the silicon atoms at the SiO2-Si interface to form SiO2. This process is discussed in more detail in the Deposition Overview for MEMS Learning Module" found on the SCME website
Seeing the World: The Fundamentals of Geospatial Science and Spatial Reasoning
No full textGeoTech Center presents a series of model courses on GIS, spatial technologies, and related subjects. This first course introduces "the fundamental concepts of Geographic Information Science and Technology (GIS&T) including Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Global Positioning Systems (GPS), cartography, remote sensing, and spatial analysis." A course outline is included that describes course objectives, core content, and a detailed syllabus
How Small is That?
No full textThis lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers the concept of relative size. Students will learn that "cells are quite big when compared to nanomaterials" and examine ways to keep nanoparticles from being polluted by larger objects, such as dust. A Teacher's Preparatory Guide and Student Worksheet are provided that give detailed guidance for completing the lab
Standard Practice for Reporting Data for Test Specimens Prepared by Additive Manufacturing
No full textThis classroom module will give students an introduction to reporting data for test specimens in additive manufacturing, specifically, identifying test specimen report forms, understanding the data contained on those forms, and "the physical alignment for test specimens in the build box for proper building for testing." This lesson is intended to be delivered primarily through a lecture and class discussion format and should take approximately 1 hour. Evaluation questions are included, and the information can be adapted high school and early college students
MEMS Applications Overview
No full textThis YouTube video, created by Southwest Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), provides an overview of the different applications of microelectromechanical systems or MEMS. The length of the video is 13:37 minutes long and describes a variety of possible MEMS, including: inkjet printheads, DNA microarrays, retinal prostheses, MEMS inertial and pressure sensors, and cybernetic insects. More information on MEMS can be found on the SCME website.Â
Codeacademy
No full textHow does one learn how to code? It can be complicated, but Codeacademy lifts the veil on the mystery behind this important modern craft and skill. On the site, visitors can go ahead and get started by typing in their username. After this, visitors can click on the Learn area to find out more about programming for JavaScript, Python, Ruby, and jQuery. An area at the bottom of the main page links to HTML/CSS lessons.

The site also contains a link to After-School Programming which will help young people get started with creating a programming club at their school. Finally, the site also features a Stories area, which features inspirational stories from people who have used the Codeacademy website
Anatomy Corner
No full textThis fascinating and informative website was created by a high school teacher in Granite City, Missouri. It brings together a wide range of resources designed to help students learn about anatomy. The materials are divided into three sections: Anatomy Galleries, Anatomy Topics, and Virtual Cat Dissection. The Anatomy Galleries area provides slides, photos, and illustrative materials related to eye dissection, sheep heart dissection, and cat muscles. The Anatomy Topics area includes overviews of the major body systems, including the nervous, circulatory, and endocrine systems. The site also includes a Virtual Cat Dissection, which walks interested parties through this process
