Curated OER
Writing Nuclear Reactions
In this writing nuclear reactions worksheet, students read about nuclear equations for alpha decay, beta decay and positron emission. They are given the rules for writing nuclear reactions and a sample problem.
Curated OER
Nuclear Decay
In this nuclear decay worksheet, students read about alpha and beta decay and the isotopes formed by the reactions. Students solve nine problems including writing the equations for the decay of radioactive isotopes, identifying the...
Curated OER
Nuclear Chemistry Worksheet
For this nuclear chemistry worksheet, students solve nine problems about half life, positron emission, nuclear fission and nuclear fusion.

Unit 2 ~ Atomic Structure
As an atomic structure reference and review tool, this handout fits the bill. The first page provides definitions and tables of orbitals, electrons, and energy levels. The second page is an opportunity to practice determining numbers of...
Curated OER
Chemical Reaction
In this chemical reaction worksheet, students label the missing particles as natural decay, induced, fission, or fusion. Students calculate the energy change for the given reactions. This worksheet has 6 fill in the blank and 4 problems...
Curated OER
The Nucleus
In this atoms activity, learners review terms associated with atoms which includes isotopes, transmutation, and radioactive decay. This activity has 11 short answer questions.
Curated OER
Radioactivity-What is the Nucleus Like?
In this radioactivity learning exercise, students answer 40 questions about half life, isotopes, radioactive decay, the uses of radioactivity, nuclear equations and the scientists associated with radioactivity.

Not In My Backyard: The Nature and Danger of Nuclear Radiation
Students evaluate the ways to control exposure to radiation and determine how to deal with the problem of nuclear waste in a rational rather than an emotional way.
Curated OER
Radioactivity
For this radioactivity worksheet, students write the mass number and atomic number for the missing element in the reactions. Students identify the isotope that is more stable and determine the half-life of the isotope. This worksheet has...
Curated OER
Half Lives
Pupils investigate the concept of half-life by conducting an M&M experiment. In this chemistry lesson, students differentiate nuclear fusion and fission. They present investigation findings to class.
