Lesson Comments
We worked through a series of questions and answers to arrive at the fission reaction, the how of it and the nuclear shape.
Discussed why uranium ore does not fission, the need for isotopes of U-235 and to achieve uranium enrichment.
demo'd a chain reaction using molecular models and the idea of critical mass.
