Bellwork and notes below. I also passed out Concept-Development 39-1 for homework, but it is not due tomorrow because we have not done the front. It will be due Thursday.

Conceptual: Radiation Intro

Most years we do a lab with cloud chambers to see some nuclear radiation, but I don't have the funds this year. Instead, here's an awesome video of a giant cloud chamber in Berlin.

Finally, we went through and talked about some of the items on the Nuclear Technology Affects Us All checklist. Turn this in for some completion points.

Conceptual: Nuclear Intro Lab

Today we started our Nuclear unit. Bellwork:



Then we used cloud chambers to see the trails of radiation emitted from uranium in the glaze of some old Fiestaware.  I can't set this up for you again if you missed it, but here is a video of a giant cloud chamber in Berlin.

Homework tonight is to read through and complete Nuclear Technology Affects Us All.  I do not have an electronic version.

History of the Model of the Atom

Many, many people have been (and are) involved in the development of models of the atom, but we're only going to talk about 6 developments.

Assigned: Create a time line of the historical development of models of the atom. Remember that a time line should be to scale!
Due: Atom Model assignment, Quarter 1 Crossword.
