Young scientists use a learning exercise to help them perform a lab on the decay of a radioactive element. The learning exercise serves as both a task guide and a lab sheet for pairs of learners. This activity requires a calculator and...

In this nuclear chemistry worksheet, students define radioactivity and the types of nuclear reactions. They label nuclear reactions with one of five types of reactions including fusion, fission, induced, natural decay or electron capture.

In this age of rocks worksheet, students answer five matching questions about terms related to the decay of atoms. They use a strip of paper to simulate half life of atoms and determine the total amount of time it took to deplete the paper.

Students use an eggshell decay to represent what happens when a person loses someone's trust. In this trust lesson, students discuss decay and complete an eggshell decay activity. Students use the experiment to represent what happens...

Students participate in a lab in which they are introduced to carbon-dating. In groups, they use the holes of paper from a hole puncher and determine the rate of retention after shaking coins onto the same area. They record their...
