Atomic Structure
Atoms and Radioactivity
What is radioactivity? To understand it, you need to look deep into an atomic nucleus. Do you know your neutrons from your protons, your istopes to your isotonic drinks? Let's find out. Download the flashcard template and answer the questions and then use them for retrieval quizzes.
Scientific Models of the Atom

Medical Uses of Radioactivity
How is Radioacivity used in hospitals? We are going to look at how it can be used in diagnosis and treatment in today's lesson. Download the flashcard question template and fill it in while you watch the video
Nuclear Fission
Nuclear Fission is when a nucleus breaks into two different, smaller nuclei. In this lesson you will learn how this occurs and how it is used to produce electricity. Download the flashcard question template and fill it in while you watch the video
Nuclear Fusion
How is light and heat produced in the Sun? Is Nuclear Power the future? You'll learn a bit more about the answers to these question in this lesson. Download the flashcard question template and fill it in while you watch the video
Nuclear Issues
Is Nuclear Power the future? You'll be able to develop your own opinion by the end of this lesson. Download the flashcard question template and fill it in while you watch the video
