Lesson Comments
alpha decay problems went well after some brief explanations
Jackson had his usual interesting questions, some of which he was able to look up and determine lthe answers to.
The discussion of the transmutation went back and forth and finally ended with the production of lead from uranium. Jackson always has some interesting questions and "what ifs" which add to the class.
