NDT Education Resources
It’s Tuesday, March 3, 2020, and time for Science. I would like to ask you to check out this Recommended Website: NDT Education Resources which is what Charlie and I are looking into.
Age Range: 10-18 (Grades 5-12, with parental supervision) What is Non-Destructive Testing? It’s a method of testing and inspecting industrial parts and materials without damaging them. NDT technicians and engineers test for material conditions and flaws that might cause planes to crash, reactors to fail, trains to derail, pipelines to burst, etc.
Through methods such as radiology, NDT allows inspection without interfering with a product’s final use. NDT inspectors use the sciences of:
- Electricity
- Magnetism
- X-Rays
- Sound
This website provides free, interactive lessons in all four of these sciences for students in middle school and high school.
Under the paragraph entitled “The Science of Nondestructive Testing”, you’ll see links to the introduction, and then the 4 sciences. Click on any one of the sciences and a new page opens with a table of contents for the curriculum in that field.
Click on any topic to learn more, or just follow the arrows to chronologically follow the curriculum. Each page offers interesting text and illustrations. Many pages contain multi-media, interactive demonstrations of the concepts discussed. The material is presented in an engaging way to capture student interest.
If your student enjoys the material here, they may be interested in learning more about a career in NDT. You’ll find information about that (designed just for middle and high school students) at the site as well. Here’s the direct link.
Thank you,
