In this lesson, students will simulate the randomness of decay in radioactive atoms and visualize the half-life of a sample radioactive element. This lesson can be completed in two (2) 45-minute class ...

In this lesson, students will investigate the nature of radioactivity and the effect of both distance and shielding materials on different radioactive sources using a Geiger-Muller tube with a counter ...

Scientists cheered another indication that the Atomic Age was starting to roll. After long delay and soul-searching, the Manhattan District this week agreed to supply qualified customers with about ...
