=ER6: Nuclear Isotope= When you finish the benchmark Assessment, drag out the ER_NuclearIsotope document from my Teacher folder. I will assign you an element, and you can get to work! The icon below is a great resource for finding isotopes!

=Striving for Excellence!= Please consider the following projects, which could develop into an Excellence Portfolio that you develop to earn an A in this class:
 * Create a slideshow of how radioactivity has been represented in the visual arts;
 * Create a set of trading cards with comic book characters affected by radioactivity;
 * Provide a movie/TV review of a show that featured radioactivity as an important plot element;
 * Create a timeline of interesting events in history related to radioactivity;
 * Make an annotated diagram of a piece of equipment important to the application of radioactivity;
 * Yucca Mountain has been under consideration for many years as a place to store radioactive nuclear waste. Present a summary of the reasons why Yucca Mountain has been selected, and also why the plan is being opposed. This could be presented as a news article, a iMovie news report, or a ComicLife story.
 * Research the common medical problems of a uranium miner. Tell a realistic story of an imaginary miner, using facts that you uncovered in your research.
 * Create a review game that would test whether someone understood the basic ideas of radioactivity. The game could take any form you like, and should be both interesting and educational.
 * Any other ideas? Clear them with Mr. Cox and get started!
