Contents
Outcomes
- Pupils can describe the changes on the atomic and mass number of a nucleus when a alpha or a beta or a gamma particle is released
- Pupils can balance nuclear equations
- pupils identify the good uses of radioactive particles
- pupils identify the dangers caused by the radioactive radiation
Specification References
- 7.6 describe the effects on the atomic and mass number of a nucleus of the emission of each of the three main types of radiation
- 7.7 understand how to complete balanced nuclear equations
- 7.8 understand that ionising radiations can be detected using a photographic film or a Geiger-Muller detector
- 7.9 recall the sources of background radiation
- 7.13 describe the uses of radioactivity in medical and non-medical tracers, in radiotherapy and in the radioactive dating of archaeological specimens and rocks
- 7.14 describe the dangers of ionising radiations, including:
- radiation can cause mutations in living organisms - radiation can damage cells and tissue - the problems arising in the disposal of radioactive waste
Starter
- recall and stress the idea that all radiation (alpha, beta and gamma) comes from INSIDE the nucleus
