Nano-Link: Unit Cells and Crystal Structures
In this module students create a saturated solution using borax, sodium acetate, and copper sulfate. Upon drying, each crystal will have a different shape. The shape at the macro level is driven by the arrangement of atoms. This repeating arrangement of atoms is the defining characteristic of a crystal structure, and is based on the geometry of the fundamental unit cell. Students may introduce... |

3D Spatial Visualization Skill
Additive Manufacturing, or 3-D printing, is the process of making a three dimensional object using an additive process where the object is built by laying successive layers of material to shape the object. This distinguishes AM from traditional manufacturing where machining techniques that rely on removal of material by cutting, milling or drilling (subtractive process) are used. Spatial... |

Recycling Materials
Abstract Materials recycling has become popular not only to save the environment, but it has also become big business. Recyclable materials include: fibers, plastics, glass (a type of ceramic), and metals. Paper (a fiber made from a cellulose composite) recycling is probably the most widely known and common type of recycling. This module introduces concepts of material processing (called... |
