The Workings of the Retinal Prosthesis
No full textThis YouTube video, created by Southwest Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), describes a biomedical application of MEMS technology. This 5:08 minute long video describes "how a microsystems array is used in the retinal prosthesis to stimulate cells in the retina that talk to the brain via the optic nerve." Diagrams of the prosthesis, as well as the retina, and descriptions of how resolution can be increased are included. Viewers can learn more about this topic on the SCME website
Silicon Crystal Origami
No full textThis YouTube video, created by Southwest Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), is an animation which shows the viewer how to make an origami 3-D crystal from a template developed by Jack Judy at UCLA. Through this animation, "the 3-D crystal allows you to "see" the different planes of a silicon crystal, their Miller indices and some of their properties." This activity can be found in the Crystallography Learning Module, which can be accessed from the SCME website. This animation was developed by the Southwest Center for Microsystems Education (SCME).Â
Etch Processes for Microsystems - Part I
No full textThis YouTube video, created by Southwest Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), provides an introduction to etch processes used in microsystems. The lecture runs for 15:26 seconds and covers "types of etch processes used to fabrication micro-sized devices with an emphasis on the wet etch processes." More information on microsystems and etch processes can be found on the SCME website.Â
Introduction to Sensors - Macro and Micro-size
No full textThis YouTube video, created by Southwest Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), provides an introduction to sensors. It runs for 13:33 seconds and covers how sensors work, including the basic mechanisms and types used in both micro and macro scale applications. More information on sensors can be found on the SCME website.Â
Teaching Channel
No full textThe tagline of Teaching Channel is "Great Teaching. Inspiring Classrooms." Educators from kindergarten to college will find hundreds of great resources here, including fact sheets, lesson plans, videos, and blogs to help them in the classroom. First-time visitors will need to fill out a short free registration to get started. After this, users can click on left-hand side of the page to browse through Topics that include planning, class culture, behavior, engagement, and assessment. The materials are also arranged by subject and grade level. The Featured Videos area is a delight as well, as it contains dozens of offerings, such as "Carbon Cycling: Create Your Own Biology Lab" and "Reading Like a Historian." Finally, the high-quality blog posts are thoughtful and erudite, including offerings like "Setting Goals for 2012: Where Do You Start?" and "10 Common Core 'Ah-Ha' Moments."
Exploring Photovoltaics Teacher Guide
No full textThis guide was developed by the National Energy Education Development (NEED) Project. NEED's hands-on solar kits help students learn more about solar energy and its applications. Students learn about photovoltaic cells, how they are made, and how they work through hands-on activities. Topics include Digital Multimeter, Series and Parallel Circuits, Calculation of Power and Circuits, and Basic Measurement Values in Electronics
Introduction to Actuators - Macro and Micro-size
No full textThis YouTube video, created by Southwest Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), provides an introduction to actuators. It runs for 7:54 seconds and covers how actuators work, including the basic mechanisms and types used in both micro and macro scale applications. More information on actuators can be found on the SCME website.Â
Reactivity of Magnesium Metal for Biodegradable Medical Implants
No full textThis 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 their findings to real world issues, such as medical implants. This module is intended for high school students. The document is available to download in PDF file format
Zooniverse
No full textThe Zooniverse provides an extraordinarily popular venue for citizen science projects. To explore whatâs on offer, readers may click on projects, then select either science or laboratory. Dozens of possibilities present themselves, from programs that examine how galaxies form to projects that study the lives of the ancient Greeks. Readers may join a project and start contributing to data analysis of various kinds, from coding British World War I diaries to monitoring the wildlife of urban Chicago. Teachers will appreciate the extensive Education resources on the site, found within the Community tab. Zoo Teach, a companion website, can be explored by subjects (sciences, math, humanities, arts) as well as ages (from middle school through higher education). This is where readers will find lesson plans and activities to brighten a wide range of related topics
