NGSS Nuclear Energy Research Project
- Google Docs™
Description
This is written as a 4 week long research project appropriate for a Chemistry or Physics class studying nuclear power, but the timeframe can be shortened to fit your needs.
It has been broken up into tasks that need to be submitted weekly to help the teacher keep track of student progress and attendance throughout the project.
Students will research many aspects of nuclear energy including radioactivity, isotopes, history of some of the major players, nuclear power plants, nuclear incidents, and more.
The following is included:
-Student instruction overview sheet (2 pages)
-Student structured research pages (Google Doc so they can type directly) (7 pages)
-Teacher grading sheet (2 pages)
-An optional intro activity where students listen to a podcast about the Cold War and answer a few questions. It's a great "hook" assignment! I got great feedback from my students about it and decided to include it here. Scroll down to the last two pages of the document to find this activity. (1 page)
I also sell a PDF version of this project, see my store.
