TERM 4: NUCLEAR PHYSICS
Your assessment will be to research a controversial use or issue involving nuclear reactions in a particular application such as:
- energy supply
- weapons
- medical treatment
- imagery
- measurement
- forensics
- nuclear waste
- space applications
Week 3: Thursday
-
- _Research phase of ERT. Use the slideshow below and start to fill in some gaps for yourself. You may need to try out your first and second choice ideas to see which provides the best opportunity to meet criteria. It's no good choosing a great topic if you can only come up with one argument for your statement.
_Thesis Statements need to be written by NEXT WEEK.
Final version of Task sheet below.

Continue working through checklist.
Calculated the amount of energy released by fission compared to TNT or just petrol. This would be a useful calculation if your ERT is promoting Nuclear Power generation.

Week 2: Tuesday
Continue working through checklist.
We worked on half-life. Particularly relevant if you are doing medical physics or nuclear waste.
watched videos about nuclear reactor. Can you draw the parts of a nuclear reactor? Do you know the types of radiation?

Week 1: Thursday
Continue working through checklist.
Did calculations about transmutation. EVERYONE will have some sort of transmutation reaction in their ERT.

Week 1: Tuesday
Work through the content-checklist below. While you are not being examined on the content, you need to develop your vocabulary and learn the concepts and calculations relevant to nuclear physics. You must be finished the checklist by Week 3 but you can finish it earlier if you like.
I have included a list below of someone else's suggestions of ERT topics for their class. You can start looking at those to see what interests you and what gives you the best scope to demonstrate a particular criteria. You may find your own area of interest.
REMEMBER this is a PHYSICS assignment so don't get caught up in the SOSE or BIOLOGY of the concept. Your argument and recommendations should be ones that only a scientist could give.
WEBSITES:
A useful website for definitions. HYPERPHYSICS.
You also asked for the DEADLY ERT site.
