• 3.1 Although most things are in the process of becoming different--changing--some properties of objects and processes are characterized by constancy, including the speed of light, the charge of an electron, and the total mass plus energy in the universe. Changes might occur, for example, in properties of materials, position of objects, motion, and form and function of systems. Interactions within and among systems result in change. Changes vary in rate, scale, and pattern, including trends and cycles.

• SCI.HS-PS1.A.1 Each atom has a charged substructure consisting of a nucleus, which is made of protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons.

• SCI.HS-PS1.A.2 The periodic table orders elements horizontally by the number of protons in the atom’s nucleus and places those with similar chemical properties in columns. The repeating patterns of this table reflect patterns of outer electron states.

• SCI.HS-PS1.A.3 The structure and interactions of matter at the bulk scale are determined by electrical forces within and between atoms.

Objectives Topic 24:  

Topics

1:  Nuclear Radiation

2:  Radioactive Decay

3:  Nuclear Reactions

4:  Applications and Effects of Nuclear Reactions

Main Ideas

•Section 1: Under certain conditions, some nuclei can emit alpha, beta, or gamma radiation.

•Section 2: Unstable nuclei can break apart spontaneously, changing the identity of atoms.

•Section 3: Fission, the splitting of nuclei, and fusion, the combining of nuclei, release tremendous amounts of energy.

• Section 4: Nuclear reactions have many useful applications, but they also have harmful biological effects•

​

Essential Questions

•How was radioactivity discovered and studied?

•What are the key properties of alpha, beta, and gamma radiations?

•Why are certain nuclei radioactive?

•How are nuclear equations balanced?

•How can you use radioactive decay rates to analyze samples of radioisotopes?

• How are mass and energy related?

•How do nuclear fission and nuclear fusion compare and contrast?

•What is the process by which nuclear reactors generate electricity?

•What are several methods used to detect and measure radiation?

•How is radiation detected, measured, and used?

•What are some of the damaging effects of radiation on biological systems?

• SCI.HS-PS4.B.1 Electromagnetic radiation (e.g., radio, microwaves, light) can be modeled as a wave of changing electric and magnetic fields or as particles called photons. The wave model is useful for explaining many features of electromagnetic radiation, and the particle model explains other features.

• SCI.HS-PS4.B.2 When light or longer wavelength electromagnetic radiation is absorbed in matter, it is generally converted into thermal energy (heat). Shorter wavelength electromagnetic radiation (ultraviolet, X-rays, gamma rays) can ionize atoms and cause damage to living cells.
