Nuclear Energy

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Atomic theory as a philosophical study was explored even by the Ancient Greeks. The knowledge of atoms was developed in the 17th century.  This PowerPoint explains how by the 1940's, splitting of the atom was discovered and since then, Nuclear Fission has been explored as a source of energy.  Important dates are given and the main developments are summarized. These slides would be useful to support a class discussion.
