What Do People Know About Radon?

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Students read the fictitious newspaper article entitled, "Levels of Radon in Jersey Town Exceed Limits." This helps them get a basic vocabulary started for the terms and concepts related to radon. In groups, they identify words that they don't know. They then conduct five survey interviews with adults using an Opinion Survey.
