[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students investigate the characteristics of radioactive emissions, and then complete equations involving radioactive decay when given pertinent information.

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 students will evaluate their personal radiation dose. They will develop an understanding of the term radiation and how it relates to everyday life. The will simulate how radioactive material decays and apply the term half-life....

This article with embedded videos provides information about three main types of radioactive decay: alpha, beta, and gamma.

Kids learn about the science of radioactivity and radiation in chemistry including radioactive decay, types, measurements, half-life, and the dangers.
