  Lesson Plan: Investigating Radiation and the Chornobyl Nuclear Disaster Mark as Favorite (2 Favorites)

  In this lesson, students will listen to a podcast from Tiny Matters to learn about the Chornobyl Nuclear Disaster of 1986. They will hear about the current conditions in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone, specifically learning about the animals that live there, and how researchers are trying to understand how constant low levels of radiation impact their health. Following the podcast, students will learn more about radiation and radioactive isotopes using a simulation. They will demonstrate their understanding by creating models of radioactive decay.

  Radioactive Isotopes, Half Lives | High School

  Lesson Plan: Zircon—Earth’s Timekeeper Mark as Favorite (1 Favorite)

  In this lesson, students will answer questions about rocks and minerals while listening to a podcast. Additional information is provided to guide students toward understanding the nature of radioactive half-lives. how the study of rocks and minerals helps scientists make conclusions about how and when the earth was formed.
