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 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 learners 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. Learners work with a quantitative, but simple model of energy resources to show how rapidly...

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, students 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...

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.
