This site, from the National Center for Women and Information Technology, offers a collection educational materials aimed at teachers of undergraduate computer science courses. The course materials on the site are open use and contributed by faculty from across the U.S., and can be searched by course level, material type, programming language, and more. The collection is intended to help educators provide a great introductory CS experience in order to retain "women and other underrepresented groups in undergraduate CS education." Visitors are asked to complete a short registration process in order to access certain materials.
This lesson, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, uses an EasyBake oven and edible materials as a means to interest younger students in nanotechnology. The creation of a 'wafer' in the EasyBake oven simulates concepts in chip fabrication for electronic devices, such as the cell phones and gaming devices they use on a daily basis. The included 'Teacher's Guide' details needed materials, step-by-step instructions, and assessment rubrics. A 'Student Guide' includes activity instructions and questions to assess comprehension.
