An integrated science curriculum that addresses the physical sciences - what is radiation and radioactivity (alpha, beta, and gamma radiation, radioactive decay); the earth sciences - what earth materials are radioactive; and the biological sciences - what effect does radon gas have on human health.
Teachers are able to obtain the "Do You Know Your 3 R's? Radiation, Radioactivity, And Radon" curriculum notebook and have access to the module check-out resource kits by attending a teacher training workshop.
Teachers attending the training workshop not only do the "hands-on" activities in the three-week module, but they will also hear lectures by experts in the field of radiation and will take a field trip related to the topic. Teacher resource kits, which contain all of the necessary materials (including Geiger counter, radiation sources, etc.) to teach the unit, will be available on a loan basis to check out.
