[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students will investigate fission and fusion, and discover how they play a part in nuclear chain reactions in fission bombs, nuclear power plants, and radiation in...

This interactive unit will take students up close and personal with the nuclei of atoms as they discover some of their more intimate process. These will include radioactive decay, nuclear fission, and nuclear fusion.

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

Interactive tutorial helps with understanding nuclear weapons, the different types, how they are different from conventional weapons, and how many countries have developed them.

Through informational text, interactive activities, and virtual animations students learn about the atomic nucleus, fission, fusion, and radioactive decay.

A complete learning module with interactive activities as well as informational text to help students distinguish the characteristics and components of radioactivity.
