Radioactivity And The Search For New Elements

Using Marie Curie’s 1911 Nobel Prize Lecture as its text, this module takes students directly to the substance of a key scientific discovery. It is designed to be used when teaching about atoms, their structure, and nuclear chemistry.

Using a famous text by an honored scientist, this module is designed to take approximately seven hours of classroom time or eight 50-minute periods. This module was created in the Summer 2013 Science Design Jam and is shared with special thanks to the Kentucky Education Association for the use of their Lexington facilities.
