Product Details

AP Physics 2, Big Ideas 5 and 7, Investigation 15

The atomic model and radioactivity are sometimes difficult for students to understand since atomic particles cannot be seen with the naked eye. With these activities, students will readily grasp these concepts and learn to appreciate the reasoning that led to processes, such as carbon dating and determining the chemical composition of far away stars and galaxies. This advanced-inquiry lab uses a guided-inquiry activity-stations approach with four self-contained labs that can be completed in any order:
• Half-Life—Understand the concepts of half-life and the probabilistic nature of radioactivity through the use of multifaceted dice simulations.
• Hydrogen Spectrum—Learn how absorption and emission spectra can be extrapolated to understand the composition of distant celestial bodies.
• Radioactive Decay Cards—Arrange element and beta and alpha particle cards to investigate the natural decay of uranium-238.
• Quantum Leap—Discover how electron location in orbitals corresponds to probability.

Complete for 24 students working in pairs.
