Students 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.

Learners distinguish safe forms of radiation from those that are dangerous. Students watch a video about sources of radiation encountered every day. Learners estimate their own annual radiation exposure.

Middle schoolers distinguish safe forms of radiation from those that are dangerous. Students watch a video about sources of radiation encountered every day. Middle schoolers estimate their own annual radiation exposure.

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

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

Young scholars read an article about dirty bombs and then use a worksheet as a discussion guide to consider surrounding issues. They use balloons, cornstarch and iron fillings to demonstrate the possible impact of a dirty bomb.

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.

Students 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.

Fifth graders study nuclear destruction using visual literacy. In this nuclear destruction lesson, 5th graders work in groups to examine a group of pictures that show the destruction of a home by a nuclear blast. They discuss the type of...

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...
