Wednesday, June 1

Today in class we started the topic of Nuclear Bombardment. The main idea that Nuclear transmutations can occur spontaneously or artificially. If it happens artificially there is usually some form of bombardment occurring. There are many examples on page 4. We finished 1-6.
After we finished up with the packet we started on our lab. Our lab was on Radioactivity and Shielding. In it we had see what shields worked best against blocking beta particles and gamma rays. Then once we got that data we had to see which type of radiation did a better job of penetrating through the shields. After we collected all of our data we had an easy reading quiz that consisted of problems one could find on pages 2 and 3 of the packet.
