Learners explain how E-bomb works. In this physics instructional activity, students simulate the effects of e-bombs on electronic targets. They discuss its potential harmful effects when used as a weapon.

Students investigate energy. In this Physics instructional activity, students explore different sources of energy: heat, nuclear, and chemical. Students sing an electricity song.

High schoolers view a short film about the results of dropping the atomic bomb at the end of World War II. They research controversies surrounding the use of the bomb and nuclear weapons. They write two editorials about the issue.

Pupils find maps of the region to show rock formations and soil types and use GIS to compare radon levels. They describe three types of radioactive decay, interpret graphs, and follow steps to develop a nuclear bomb or energy.

Students investigate the dangers of radiation by exploring recent nuclear tragedies.  In this scientific debate instructional activity, students define the idea of radiation "half life" and determine if low doses of radiation are...

Young scholars investigate energy sources by examining photographs.  In this atomic energy lesson plan,  students identify and describe various pictures and how atomic energy is used in them.  Young scholars create a...

The United States—specifically John F. Kennedy—played a large role during the Cuban Missile Crisis. A history resource poses questions that encourage critical thinking as well as in-depth analysis of images from the time period.

Students investigate exponential decay.  Students explore the biological half-life of Cesium-137.  Students investigate the Goiania Accident of 1987 which is considered one of the worst incidents in the history of the Atomic...

Young scholars identify the use and misuse of radiation. They examine human activities that add to the exposure of radiation. They also discover how it can be useful in saving lives.
