David Richardson from the Institute of Physics shows three teachers
from different backgrounds how they can handle radioactive resources
safely, and carry out effective experiments in the classroom. David shows a range of experiments using alpha, beta and gamma ionising radiation, and supporting animations help explain what is happening on an atomic level. David also gives the teachers some suggestions for starter activities to help their students engage with the lesson. Additional safety points are covered by John Ellis from CLEAPSS, the school science support service. To watch this programme, insert the disk into a normal DVD player or start the DVD playing software on your computer. |
Why and how you can use this pack in your lessons
Four 3D animations to use with your students which explain the physics behind the demonstrations on a microscopic level.
