In this tabletop game, students play the role of professional research scientists in the Bent Lab @ Stanford University, they choose a big, global problem that transistor technology is related to, and their goal is to improve transistor technology, using experimentation related to materials and s
In this semester-long elective using activities created by SEMI High Tech U, students will explore diverse education and career pathways related to high tech industries with a focus on semiconductors. In the course students will build professional skills, personal skills and make connections.
Reactions are vital to human functions and synthesis of materials. Sometimes reactions happen too slowly, so a catalyst is introduced to speed the reaction along. Sometimes reactions don’t happen easily so a catalyst is introduced to make the reaction occur.
At Genentech, I worked on different assays to build my own laboratory and analysis skills. I developed ways to improve the ELISA assay with my mentor. I used proper laboratory protocol to document when I perform an experiment.
The Markland research group at Stanford University develops simulation approaches to modelling chemical systems. When experimental techniques are insufficient for observing atomic-level phenomena, scientists use advanced computer simulations to model complex systems.
The Mitch Lab at Stanford researches organic chemical reaction pathways involved in treating water, especially disinfection byproducts (DBPs), which result from reactions between disinfectants (usually chlorine) and dissolved organic matter.
Students will learn the concept of drawing flow charts to break down difficult lab procedures. Students will begin by using labs used in the iCLEM program to practice the skill of flow charts.
This ETP is designed to get students ready for inquiry based curriculum. Students will be required to base arguments on evidence provided in tables or graphs, by learning how to read them based on column headings, axis, headings, and best fit lines.
Students will compare the strengths of oxidizing and reducing agents, and determine resistance to different etching solutions. Students will work in small groups, developing laboratory skills while conducting a lab on electroplating.
