Analyze nuclear fission chain reactions and how to prevent them as well as explore ways to control nuclear reactions through these simulations.

Start a chain reaction, or introduce non-radioactive isotopes to prevent one. Control energy production in a nuclear reactor.

Given diagrams, illustrations, symbols, or descriptions, student will distinguish between nuclear fusion and nuclear fission.

This lesson focuses on the formation and life cycle of stars. Stars form when enough dust and gas clump together because of gravitational forces. Nuclear reactions release energy to keep the star hot. Some stars grow larger over time....
