2) Create some astronomy display work for my physics board in the classroom. It can be as big/bold/informative/creative as possible to show the topic that we have been studying. For example you might want to focus on a particular planet, a satellite mission and what it found or current research eg on black holes? 
LOC's available for the best ones!!!

Ext tasks from Chp 6 Radioactivity exam

Group 1: Complete a short ppt about the timeline of the structure of the atom and how it has changed over time. Max 10 slides, be ready to present to the class at the end of the lesson. Email me you ppt by 10:30.

Learning outcomes: 
1) Describe the main features of the atom and its subatomic particles using scientific language
2) Explain how and why the atomic model has changed over time including reference to the plum pudding model and Rutherford alpha particle scattering leading to the Bohr model.

Group 2: Complete a short ppt about the Rutherford scattering experiment and the scale of atoms and nuclei. Max 10 slides, be ready to present to the class at the end of the lesson. Email me you ppt by 10:30.



1) Recall the typical size (order of magnitude) of atoms, nuclei and small molecules (Think of ways to help people remember this)
2) Describe Rutherford's gold leaf scattering experiment in detail and explain what it taught us about the atom

Group 3: Complete a short ppt outlining the nuclear processes of fission and fusion. Max 10 slides, be ready to present to the class at the end of the lesson. Email me you ppt by 10:30.

1) Describe the process of fission focusing on what is happening at each stage and explaining the role of fuel rods, control rods and the moderator. 

2) Outline the process of fusion and explain what conditions are needed to fusion to happen.

3) Compare and contract the nuclear processes of fission and fusion. 




Homework: Due Tuesday 5th Feb 2019

1) Fission and fusion exam questions given out in class
2) EWT improvements - in GREEN PEN!!! at least a paragraph
3) Revise for end of chapter 6 test.

Homework due :Tuesday 29th Jan 2019

Use the following websites to carry out some research about nuclear energy:

§Name three industries that produce nuclear waste.

§What are the different ways that nuclear waste can be classified?
§What items might be classified in these types of radioactive waste?
§How are each of these types of radioactive wastes disposed of?
§Write an argument outlining the advantages and disadvantages of nuclear power.

JRCS Science Department
GCSE (9-1) Physics : P6 Radioactivity
Extended writing task: Dangers and uses of radioactive materials







We are exposed to radioactive substances from many different sources. Compare and contrast the uses and dangers of exposure to radioactive materials.
Grade Description
Student
Teacher
3
State what background radiation is and compare the radiation received from 4 sources of background radiation


4-5
Describe one use of a radioactive substance and discuss the dangers involved


6
Compare and contrast the uses of different types of radiation (discuss the properties which make it useful/dangerous).


7
Give detailed explanations of three types of radioactive substances and their uses and dangers (examples may be from industry and medical uses).









15.01.19 P2 Dangers of Radiation Research tasks:

Use the laptops to research about 3 incidents which occurred due to radiation. Write a paragraph about each situation A, B and C.

A Chernobyl In 1986 there was a nuclear accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power station. Find out:  where Chernobyl is, and how many people lived in the nearby town of Pripyat 
 why the accident happened 
 how far the contamination spread (and whether it affected the UK) 
 what the main harmful isotopes were, and their half-lives 
 how many people died in the first three months 
 how many people died as a result of the accident altogether, and what the common causes of death were. 

B Fukushima In 2011 there was an accident at a nuclear power station at Fukushima in Japan. Find out: 
 what caused the accident 
 which isotopes from the accident spread around the world, and how they were spread 
 which of the isotopes produced a hazard that decreased within a month 
 how many deaths were caused by the accident, and what the long-term effects on people in Fukushima are likely to be. 

C Alexander Litvinenko Alexander Litvinenko died of radiation poisoning in 2006. Find out: 
 which isotope was responsible for his death, what type of radiation it emits and why this was particularly dangerous 
 how the isotope got into his body, and how its half-life would have affected the radiation he was exposed to between when he was poisoned and when he died 
 what his first symptoms were 
 who is alleged to be responsible 
 whether this incident was an example of irradiation or contamination.
