Lesson Topic
radioactivity
Lesson Outline
Outline and discuss types of radiation. Explain alpha radiation, type of particles, mass and number.
Use example to show alpha decay of radium into radon with the loss of a helium nucleus. Explain and discuss beta particle decay as a an electron given off. Show how iodine can be transformed into xenon with the conversion of a neutron into a proton and electron. Discuss gamma rays and energy contained in these rays. Examine how gamma rays can be emitted during both Alpha and beta decay. Introduce X rays as high energy electromagnetic radiation. View an X ray of hand bones.
