Watts, Jo; Bull, Glen, 2025, "NTLS Optical Workbench", https://doi.org/10.18130/V3/B0IHXD, University of Virginia Dataverse, V4
The NTLS Optical Workbench is designed to be used in conjunction with the NTLS 3D-printed Microscope. It enables students to experiment with and explore the optical principles that are used in design of microscopes. The goal is to enable students to experience concepts such as focal length firsthand so that they can apply these concepts to design o... |
Watts, Jo; Bull, Glen, 2025, "NTLS Microscope", https://doi.org/10.18130/V3/ZNR96G, University of Virginia Dataverse, V5
The NTLS Microscope is a 3D-printed microscope that enables engineering students to learn the underlying principles that govern microscope design while providing science classes with additional resources. The NTLS microscope is part of a larger initiative by the National Technology Leadership Society (NTLS), a coalition of twelve national teacher e... |
Watts, Jo; Bull, Glen; Berzin, Sabrina; Henriquez, Angelica, 2024, "The Visible Microscope", https://doi.org/10.18130/V3/K9TGP4, University of Virginia Dataverse, V3
The Visible Microscope is inspired by the OpenFlexure microscope. The Open Flexure microscope is a laboratory-grade microscope constructed using 3D printed parts and a single-board computer that is widely used in research laboratories internationally (Sharkey, Foo, Kabla, Baumberg & Bowman, 2016). The Visible Microscope is an adapted version of the... |
Watts, Jo; Bull, Glen, 2024, "Mechanical Wave Machine", https://doi.org/10.18130/V3/LSNBFW, University of Virginia Dataverse, V2
The Mechanical Wave Machine is designed to enable students to explore and understand the way in which the motion of a series of cams can simulate the motion of a wave. |
Haas, J. Patrick, 2023, "NASA Pinhole Projector", https://doi.org/10.18130/V3/DKUZB0, University of Virginia Dataverse, V2
These 3D printable maps are shaped like the contiguous United States of America and show the paths of solar eclipses traversing the country. Each object contains a pinhole in the center that will provide safe and engaging viewing of changing solar images during stages of a solar eclipse. Sun shining through the pinhole (for example over a shoulder... |
Kaupp, Lauren; Philippoff, Joanna; Seraphin, Kanesa; Lurie, Matthew, 2023, "Wave Prints", https://doi.org/10.18130/V3/ILBUSG, University of Virginia Dataverse, V4
This activity, first published by the National Science Teaching Association (NSTA), uses a wave tank to create a standing wave and capture its physical profile in the form of a wave print. Students create a standing wave in a wave tank and record the profile of the wave by making a print of it. This is accomplished by dipping an absorbent sheet of... |
Borowczak, Andrea; Borowczak, Mike, 2023, "Measuring Cups", https://doi.org/10.18130/V3/II0CVB, University of Virginia Dataverse, V3
Students engaging with this basic manipulative can first build an understanding of volume while using a single material and then density when using multiple materials. The Measuring Cups is a set of five nesting, polygonal containers with flat bottoms and tops. These measuring containers hold, and are labeled with, common US customary volume units... |
