Quantum Dots
This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers the concept of behavior of particles on the nanoscale. Students will learn about exploring the absorption and reflection of light "based on energy levels that are determined by size and bonding arrangements of the materials." A Teacher Preparation Guide, Student Guide, a YouTube video, and Next Generation Science Standards applicable to the lesson are included.
This lesson builds upon the previous one (Newton's Second Law) by introducing students to kinetic and potential energy. Topics include a brief description of...
In this activity, students quantify and analyze their personal contributions of smog-forming compounds due to driving. The activity builds upon the previous...
This lesson introduces the idea that rates and directions of plate movements can be measured. The discussion centers on the use of mantle 'hotspots' to...
This lesson discusses the question 'What is a mineral?' in the context of the guessing game 'Animal, Vegetable, or Mineral?'. It introduces a definition of the...
This hands-on activity covers the basics of rock identification. After a brief discussion of the terms 'rock' and 'mineral', students will study the...

AMSER is a portal of educational resources and services built specifically for use by those in Community and Technical Colleges but free for anyone to use.
AMSER is funded by the National Science Foundation as part of the National Science Digital Library, and is being created by a team of project partners led by Internet Scout.
Materials Science is a career field expected to have rising opportunities in the future due to its dependence on "mathematical models and computational tools." Many fields involving materials science, such as engineering and biology, have promising career opportunities.
