The
ABC's of Nuclear Science
is a brief introduction to Nuclear Science. We look at
Antimatter, Beta rays, Cosmic connection
and much more. Visit here and learn about
radioactivity
- alpha, beta and gamma decay. Find out the difference between fission and fusion. Learn about the structure of the atomic nucleus. Learn how elements on the earth were produced. Do you know that you are being
bombarded constantly by nuclear radiation
from the Cosmos? Discover if there are radioactive products found in a grocery store. Do you know if you have ever eaten radioactive food? Find out what materials are needed to shield us from alpha, beta, gamma, radiation. Discover what have we gained by its study.
About the Nuclear Wall Chart
We have brought the
Teacher’s Guide to the Nuclear Science Wall Chart online
. You can find out how we use the nucleus in every day life. Also, There is an extensive description on the effects of radiation in the environment. You can find answers for the following questions:
Do you want to know about the
modern concept
of the nucleus?
How nuclear physicists view the nucleus?
How could anyone
measure something that small
Do you know how we find new elements?
What are
accelerators
used for?
What is radioactivity and is it dangerous?
What do nuclear physicists really do?
We also have a PDF
version
for you.
High School teachers and students can find
simple experiments
that can be used in a Chemistry or Physics class. These
experiments
can be done in a classroom with inexpensive equipment.
At this site, students and teachers at all levels can learn about the objects that produce the known and identified mass of the Universe. The rest is made of
Dark Matter
and
Dark Energy
which are science mysteries and are described in other websites.
