This lab is designed to allow students to look at the factors that affect the amount of radiation that is absorbed by different shielding materials.

This lab is designed to allow students to look at the amount of radiation that is detected at different distances from a radioactive source.

Students will learn how to estimate time of death by using a lab that models carbon dating and radioactive decay. Activity pages complete with calculator keystroke instructions and screenprints are included in this lesson plan based on...

This activity explains how students use a CBL2 and TI-83 or TI-84 calculator to collect and calculate the half-life of a barium isotope. Students can use an isogenerator to milk out a meta stable isotope of Barium with a short half-life....

This site from the Jefferson Lab provides a glossary item with a good illustration.

A virtual lab allows you to do radiometric dating on dinosaur bones. You'll be using a mass spectrometer and utilizing several steps of the scientific method.

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