Lesson 6.2 - Radioactivity and Half-Life
You will learn about the three different types of ionizing radiation. As well, you will learn to how to write a nuclear equation. The concept of half-life will be introduced as well as activity. The lesson will finish with an application of this understanding in a type of technology called radiometric dating. Watch the videos below to learn how to do the examples in the lesson and make sure you go through the powerpoint notes. When finished, you can work through Assignment 6.2
Lesson 6.3 - Nuclear Reactions
You will finish Unit 6 by looking at nuclear reactions and how they produce so much energy (hint: mass defect!). The two main types of reactions will be discussed - nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. There are no examples to go through with this lesson. When you are done going through the notes, work on Assignment 6.3 (and then you are FINALLY done the content in Physics 30!!!)
