Students write and balance nuclear equations. In this chemistry lesson, students identify materials that block radiation using polymers. They collect and analyze data from the experiment.

Mmmmm! Radioactive "candium!" Nuclear physics or chemistry classes use M&M'S® to demonstrate the process of radioactive decay. Individuals pour out a bag of candies and record the number that fall M-side-up to represent the...

Ninth graders perform a series of experiment to investigate heat transfer and phase changes. In this physical science instructional activity, 9th graders identify and calculate the different subatomic particles. They explain the...

Students simulate how scientists studied things they can't see like atoms. For this chemistry lesson, students predict what is inside the numbered obsertainers. They design a way to investigate what's inside without opening it.

Students apply the principles of chemistry to investigate the concept of how a hydrogen powered car works. They study the electrochemical reactions that provide the energy source. Students also record observations in the functioning of a...

Students study the difference between types of ionizing radiation and how elements are transmuted. They determine that radiation is normal and surrounds us. They calculate the amounts of alpha, beta and gamma radiation emitted from a...
