Description
Contains everything you need for a complete lesson on how to graph radioactive decay data to determine (1) the half-life of an isotope and (2) the amount of a sample of its activity after a given amount of time. The problems work well with all physics, chemistry and physical science curricula. These notes, worksheets and presentations are designed to be used with all of our radioactivity and nuclear physics resources.
This resource is also included in our Nuclear Physics and Radioactivity Complete Unit Bundle which is available at a 30% discount.
This resource includes:
(1) Two pages of guided notes for introducing this topic. The guided notes are designed to be used with the presentations.
(2) Three worksheets for your students to practice graphing decay data and interpreting the results.
(3) Two presentations for use during your teaching.
(4) Solutions are included for all the worksheets.
One of the worksheets includes a Radon Fact sheet that can be used as a close reading assignment. Students will read the fact sheet and answer questions to learn about the occurrence of radon-222 in our environment, why it can be a health hazard, its negative effect on the human body and how its presence can be mitigated.
This product will help your students master radioactive decay by graphing data, interpreting the results and connecting the graphs with their physical meaning to draw data-based conclusions.
All the resources in this product are available as PDF files or editable Pages, Word, Keynote or Powerpoint files.
