Examine the events surrounding and impact following what was called, "the worst" nuclear accident in Unites States history.

With the increasing use of nuclear technology in medicine, energy, and even agriculture, there is a need for monitoring radiation exposure. That is the job of the nuclear monitoring technician. Science Buddies offers a career profile...

Almost all of the energy that drives the various systems (climate systems, ecosystems, hydrologic systems, etc.) found on the Earth originates from the sun. Solar energy is created at the core of the sun when hydrogen atoms are fused...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this module, students will understand how radioactivity involves a change in the nucleus of a radioisotope and calculate the conversion of mass to energy...

The learners will evaluate their personal radiation dose. They will develop an understanding of the term radiation and how it relates to everyday life. The will simulate how radioactive material decays and apply the term half-life....

In this lesson, students will first discuss where energy comes from, including sources such as fossil fuels, nuclear, and such renewable technologies as solar. After this initial exploration, students will investigate the three main...

Discusses the triple disaster that hit Japan on March 11, 2011, with first an earthquake, then a tsunami, followed by the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Explains some of the basic science behind nuclear fission.

The heart-breaking addendum to the Chernobyl accident is that thousands of children were and are still affected by the fallout. Here are the results of an international organization that strives to help these children.

Use this site to learn about Marie Curie's scientific discoveries in radiation, which resulted in the creation of both modern cancer treatments and the atomic bomb.

This Eight Planets site briefly describes solar wind, a low density stream of charged particles emitted by the Sun. It also provides the basics on the sun's composition and additional sun links.

This digital textbook covers core physical science concepts and includes interactive features, real world examples, and videos.
