Referring to the periodic table of elements, nuclear physics learners determine the resulting elements of alpha and beta decay. Answers are given in atomic notation, showing the atomic symbol, mass, atomic number, and emission particles....

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.

In this nuclear chemistry worksheet, students answer ten questions about radioactive decay, half life, electron capture and alpha emission.

In this nuclear chemistry instructional activity, students answer 9 questions. They balance nuclear equations, they write balanced equations, they calculate decay and they find binding energy of atoms.

For this physics worksheet, students develop an understanding of the atomic model and how atoms relate to one another through answering the seven questions.

Students read periodicals relating to radioacitivity and interpret a Geiger Counter. They work in small groups, share information and help each other explain the Geiger Counter. They discover the relationship distance to...

Middle schoolers read an article about radon and its properties. They examine a periodic table and identify the numbers surrounding an element. They discuss the harmful and helpful effects of radiation.

Students examine what radon is and which isotope it belongs. They discuss the characteristics of isotopes in general and the atomic number. They complete a worksheet to complete the instructional activity.

An interactive tutorial on positrons. Very readible and has a little extra for the advanced student.

Learn about nuclear energy as you listen to the audio book describing nuclear chemistry. View maps, examples, graphs, and pictures describing everything from electrons to beta emissions and more.

The YES I Can! Science site based out of York University in Toronto is featuring the Mars rovers. The site has all the mission background information teachers need all in one place as well as several great student activities, (Build a...

Explains the processes of radioactive decay in primary and secondary modes.

This website, from the University of Edinburgh, provides a lengthy glossary of computer graphics terms written by Olin Lathrop, author of "The Way Computer Graphics Work". This site provides simple definitions of basic terms; no graphics...
