SEM and other microscopy resources. Ask a question to a biologist http://teachers.egfi-k12.org/nano-waterproofing/ (Provides full Obj., Materials, Procedures, etc. - nicely outlined.) Duquesne University lesson plans: http://www.duq.edu/news/conference-puts-power-of-scanning-electron-microscope-into-focus Duquesne sophomore chemistry major Joseph Gault of Gibsonia, developed and designed a lesson plan for the SEM to be used by some local high school teachers. Gault's lesson, SEM Analysis of Aluminum Hydroxide, included a materials lists, background, objectives, concepts taught, information on the procedure and a worksheet for introducing high school students to the powers of an SEM, which they can access remotely. Guided by Aitken and graduate assistant Kim Rosmus, Gault and others in the Bayer School developed modules to introduce high schoolers to an SEM. An introductory session looks at a penny through the SEM, teaching the power of the instrument that allows them to focus on Lincoln's eye and count all of the pillars on the coin's obverse. A module developed by Sto-Rox high school student Emily Janicki examines and allows students to recrystalize table salt, lite salt and rock candy (crystallized sugar). Metric and SEM Lesson Plan: ready to use. http://lessonsreadytoteach.com/sem-lessons/scanning-electron-microscope-lesson/ Biomimetics: clingy as an octopus or slick as a lotus leaf? A SEM is used to illustrate a butterfly wing as a segment of this study.http://www.scienceinschool.org/2011/issue18/biomimetics |
