Explain the importance of radioactive half-life as your high school biologists demonstrate the concept by performing a series of steps designed to simulate radioactive decay. Pupils use pennies to perform an experiment and gather data....

In this radon and radioactivity worksheet, young scholars analyze the data of the isotopes of elements that occur in the decay series of uranium-238. Students answer 6 questions about the isotopes, their half-lives, their potential...

In this nuclear power worksheet, students read how atoms can be changes and are unstable. Students compare 3 kinds of radiation and the difference between fission and fusion. Then students complete 10 matching and 2 short answer questions.

Students use a video, the Internet and hands-on activities to explore how to determine the age of rocks and fossils based on radioactive decay data.

In this nuclear power worksheet, students compare fission and fusion. Students learn about the different kinds of radiation. This worksheet has 2 short answer questions and 10 matching questions.

This collection consists of a slide on each of the following unrelated, but fascinating elements: einsteinium, curium, radium, radon, nobelium, seaborgium, silicon, magnesium, and postassium. You will not find detailed information on the...

Students 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 lesson.

Students identify the different sources of radiation around us. In this physics activity, students calculate their estimated radiation exposure per year. They research a current issue about radiation.
