Radiation has numerous real-world applications, some of which are relatively safe while others can be extremely hazardous. In this nuclear chemistry project, young scientists choose a practical use of nuclear reactions to...

Eleventh graders study the different areas of nuclear chemistry.  For this energy and critical thinking lesson students study radiation, nuclear energy and weapons then divide into groups and create a poster.

Learners write and balance nuclear equations. In this chemistry lesson, students identify materials that block radiation using polymers. They collect and analyze data from the experiment.

Young scholars investigate their environment by completing an in-class experiment.  In this ecological lesson, students define the roles of dams and how electricity is created by them.  Young scholars utilize plastic jugs, sand...

Students explore the different types of renewable and nonrenewable energy sources. In this earth science instructional activity, students discuss the pros and cons of each type. They conduct a variety of experiments on renewable energy.

Young scholars are assigned to groups, and determine each member's role in the group. They will design an experiment to determine a way to produce the three primary and five secondary colors. Students discuss color and mood. They listen...

Twelfth graders research about the different careers in bioengineering. In this biology lesson, 12th graders identify the different stages in the cell cycle. They discuss the pros and cons of using radiation.
