  1. Microanalysis in Science and Engineering A Workshop for Middle and High School Teachers sponsored by Tennessee Technological University Center for Manufacturing Research Departments of Chemical, Mechanical, Earth Sciences and Curriculum and Instruction and The National Science Foundation Faculty Joseph J. Biernacki (Chemical Engineering) Larry Knox (Earth Sciences) Maggie Phelps (Curriculum and Instruction) Christopher Wilson (Mechanical Engineering) June 16-20, 2003

  2. Workshop at a glance • Monday • Microscopy and microanalysis basics (lecture) • Chemistry lab (synthesis) • Teaching workshop • Tuesday • Microscopy of biological sciences (lecture) • Labs: plant, mineral, insect, mechanical testing • Teaching workshop • Wednesday • Microscopy in the earth sciences (lecture) • Labs: plant, mineral, insect, mechanical testing • Thursday • Microscopy in physical sciences (lecture) • Labs: composite fabrication, fossil, teaching • Friday • Labs: microstructure, composite, open • Teachers’ presentations

  3. Workshop breakdown by activities

  4. Expected outcomeswhat we want to achieve • Introduce teachers to TTU microscopy facilities and demonstrate range of capabilities in relevant contexts. • Develop inquiry-based curricular activities centered on use of microscopy and microanalysis. • Assemble a web site to disseminate our products.

  5. What should you expect to learn? • How to use our microscopes and associated microanalytical instruments. • How microscopy and microanalysis is used in biological, physical and earth sciences. • About developing inquiry-based pedagogy for classroom/laboratory activities.

  6. What will you be doing? • Hands on labs • Teaching workshops • Developing an activity for your classroom • Gathering data for your activity including microscopy images and microanalytical information • Presenting your activity concept to the workshop

  7. Some administrative and other details • If you drove be sure you posted your parking permit. • Fill out and hand in your social security number form. • Sign the information database form. • Be sure to sign in each day, a form will be circulated. • Complete and hand in assessment form before the end of the program. • Dress code is informal, comfortable labware. • Lectures and labs will be informal and interactive.

  8. (b) So what is “electron microscopy and X-ray microanalysis?” • Electron microscopy is an imaging technology that uses the properties of electrons rather than light. • X-ray microanalysis utilizes the interaction of electrons with matter to produce qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis with micron spatial resolution.

  9. Who are you? Out of 28 registered attendees, here’s how many teach the following topics.

  10. Linking the workshop and the curriculum • Technology fundamentals • Generating and focusing electrons • Interaction of electrons with matter • Converting electron/matter interactions into images • Applications • Virtually all aspects of science and engineering Electron Microscopy and Microanalysis Biology Environmental Science Chemistry Earth Sciences Physics
