Dear Bonnie,
.
With the current situation in Japan
involving nuclear power featured so
prominently in the news, your students
may have many questions and fears.
A good way to bring these events into
the classroom would be to use the iLabs
curricula. It addresses many of the
questions of radiation's effect on
health by analyzing how radiation
dissipates over distance. Below is a
list of relevant labs offered on line,
as well as a link to an informative video
from the CNN website.
.
.
The following labs can be found at
.

.
.
Cell Phone Radiation: How Close is Too Close?
(Physics)
.
In the Lab Activities, you will conduct the
Radioactivity iLab. With the real data you
collect, you will perform analyses, discuss
your results with classmates, and draw
conclusions about how radiation changes as a
function of distance. Am I frying my brain
with my cell phone?
.
Radiation and Cancer: Cure or Cause?
(Biology)
.
In this lab, you can explore how radioactive
radiation changes as a function of distance.
This curriculum sets the Radioactivity iLab
in the context of radiation as it's used for
cancer treatment, and asks you to consider:
Is radiation harmful or helpful?
.
Investigating the Safety of Nuclear Energy
Using Real Radioactivity Data
(Chemistry)
.
In this lab, you can explore how radioactive
radiation changes as a function of distance.
This curriculum sets the Radioactivity iLab in
the context of nuclear energy, and asks you to
consider: How safe is it to live next to a
nuclear reactor?
.
Mathematical Modeling Using Real Radioactivity
Data (Algebra, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, Statistics)
.
In this lab, you can explore how radioactive
radiation changes as a function of distance.
This curriculum sets the Radioactivity iLab in
the context of mathematics curriculum, asking
you to consider: How do mathematical patterns
describe and predict scientific data?
.
Advanced Research Methods Using Real
Radioactivity Data
(AP Physics)
.
In this lab, you can explore how radiation
changes as a function of distance.
This curriculum sets the Radioactivity iLab in
the context of cell phone radiation, and asks
you to consider: In a highly complex and diverse
universe, why do numerous phenomena behave the
same in mathematical terms?
.
CNN also offered a good interactive video about
the current problem:
