We also got out geiger meters, found out how they worked, and experimented a bit with radioactive samples.
Tomorrow we'll have an official lab on half-lives.
NEW optional assignment for this unit: Alpha and Beta Decay Simulation May be turned in by next Monday.
ALSO, I'm looking for volunteers to research and present to class. 5 minutes are offered, on the topics of:
How a geiger tube works
Nuclear Fusion - how it gives us energy
Nuclear Fission - how it gives us energy
I'll take one volunteer per class. Present on Friday if you volunteer. This counts as an optional assignment as well, and will accept one person per topic, per class period. First come, first serve.
