In Chapter 18, Nuclear Chemistry, learn about the nucleus and radioactivity, uses of radioactive substances, and nuclear energy. View different objectives that help aide the understanding of nuclear energy and radioactive emissions....

A number of electrical, nuclear, solar, and wind science projects and energy activities are described on this page, with links to each activity.

This learning module looks at human-made systems of energy, covering different types of energy and power stations. Includes handouts, slideshows, maps, activities, photographs, an interactive animation, and videos.

The Applied Science resource consists of practical activities that demonstrate the importance of standard procedures in scientific work. Students examine alternative energy through a variety of activities. Some topics investigated are...

A complete learning module with interactive activities as well as informational text to help students distinguish the characteristics and components of radioactivity.

Demonstrations explain the concepts of energy forms (sound, chemical, radiant [light], electrical, atomic [nuclear], mechanical, thermal [heat]) and states (potential, kinetic).

An inquiry-based science unit for middle school middle schoolers centered on the world's energy sources. The lessons integrate technology and lab activities while teaching about energy sources, production, and consumption.

Posters are provided for several different energy conversion systems. Students are provided with cards that give the name and a description of each of the components in an energy system. They match these with the figures on the diagram....

Fact sheets are provided for several different energy resources as a starting point for students to conduct literature research on the way these systems work and their various pros and cons. Students complete a worksheet for homework or...

Several activities are included to teach and research the differences between renewable and non-renewable resources and various energy resources. Students work with a quantitative, but simple model of energy resources to show how rapidly...

Here's a site dedicated to National Nuclear Science Week, Jan. 23-27, 2012. Sponsored by the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History, this special week is focused on all parts of nuclear science. You can find activities, lesson...

Here, students can learn all about energy sources and electricity. Activities include games and calculating energy costs in their homes.

A cross curricular unit where students simulate an energy task meeting to discuss protecting human health through energy policies. The unit covers content for twelfth grade in math, physics, language arts, and government. Topics reviewed...

Society is beginning to recognize the limited supply of fossil fuels. In this project, learners will investigate alternative energy sources. Conservation of resources is discussed and while conservation is an important step, at some...

ABC Da Energia describes the many ways that energy can be obtained and conserved. It explains different sources of energy, how each works, and how energy can be saved in our daily lives. Interactive energy-saving activities and games...

This site has lesson plans and activities related to radiation. Activities include measuring radiation with a Geiger counter and observing radiation 'footprints' in a cloud chamber.

The goal is for the students to understand the environmental design considerations required when generating electricity. The electric power that we use every day at home and work is generated by a variety of power plants. Power plants...

The FOM Institute for Atomic and Molecular Physics (AMOLF) is one of the five national research institutes of the Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter (FOM). The research at AMOLF is focused on selected areas of atomic,...

Activity 3 of this module investigates: How do we know what's inside an atom? From Ernest Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment to his investigation of the Plum Pudding model, students become aware of the Nuclear Model of an Atom. Also in...

Contains a full physics curriculum with links to games, webcasts, and activities. By creating a free account, students and teachers can create their own personal collection of resources.

From the Mad Scientist Network web site. Using a question and answer format, this page provides a thorough discussion of fusion reactions. Fusion and fission are compared and contrasted and the mechanisms which must occur to initiate and...
