SPS3. Students will distinguish the characteristics and components of radioactivity.
a. Differentiate among alpha and beta particles and gamma radiation. b. Differentiate between fission and fusion. c. Explain the process half-life as related to radioactive decay. d. Describe nuclear energy, its practical application as an alternative energy source, and its potential problems. EQs: In what ways does nuclear radiation affect living things? How do we use Carbon-14 for radioactive dating? How would the mass of a 10-g sample of carbon-14 change after one half life? How is fission different from fusion and what do either have to do with energy consumption? Monday: Complete the interactive reader for Holt, Chapter 16, section 1, Radioactivity Complete the interactive reader for Holt, Chapter 16, section 2, Energy From The Nucleus. Tuesday: Watch the short video, Fusion Energy Explained. Complete the cstephenmurray worksheet on Nuclear Power. Wednesday: Complete the math skills for radioactive dating. Watch the animation on alpha, beta and gamma radiation Thursday: Watch the animation on fission and fusion Watch the short video on fission and fusion Go to scilinks.org and put in this code: HSM0371. Scroll down to LBNL: The Particle Adventure and click. Starting with "The Standard Model," and finishing with "Particle Decays and Annihilations," read through, answer questions provided. Friday: Finish the Particle Adventure questions.
