Modern Atomic & Nuclear Science

Some of the areas that you may want to lecture on in modern atomic and nuclear science may be atomic structure and radioactivity. Review the laboratory kits and products to enhance your student's experience.

Properties of Atoms—NewPath Science Learning Center

Designed for either teacher-directed instruction or independent use by groups of 2–4 students, the Learning Center offers a Curriculum Mastery Game featuring one set of 30 illustrated question cards on this key curriculum concept, one laminated game board and game materials for up to four players. The product also includes four Visual Learning Guides. Grades 6–9.

Student Geiger Counter

With the Student Geiger Counter, immediately detect particles emitted by a radioactive source. Entire unit is enclosed in a durable protective case.

Planck’s Constant Apparatus

With the Planck’s Constant Apparatus, accurately measure Planck’s constant. Apparatus is easy-to-use and compact.

Photoelectric Effect Apparatus

With the Photoelectric Effect Apparatus, study the photoelectric emission from a mixed metal (Cs/Sb) vacuum tube. Explore the effect of light intensity.

Particle Physics Bingo—Super Value Game

With the Particle Physics Bingo Game, move beyond protons, neutrons, and electrons and study the basics of modern physics by playing an exciting game of bingo. Contains key terminology.

Photoelectric Effect with Amplifier

With the Photoelectric Effect with Amplifier, demonstrate what Einstein theorized about back in 1905 and later confirmed—the energy of an electron ionized by a photon depends on the wavelength of light, and not its intensity.

Anatomy of an Atom

Anatomy of an Atom Poster is an in-depth poster that looks at the inner workings of the atom. Each particle is beautifully illustrated and accompanied with a detailed explanation.

The Photoelectric Effect—Inquiry Lab Kit for AP® Physics 2

With the Photoelectric Effect Advanced Inquiry Lab Kit for AP* Physics 2, investigate how different materials have different work functions or minimum energy thresholds that must be overcome to emit electrons.

Modern Topics—Inquiry Lab Kit for AP® Physics 2

With the Modern Topics Inquiry Lab Kit for AP^® Physics 2, learn to appreciate the reasoning that led to processes, such as carbon dating and determining the chemical compositions of far away stars.

Ob-Scertainer Kit—A Better Black Box—Super Value Kit

Using the Ob-Scertainer Black Box Scientific Method Activity Kit, students guess what type of configuration is inside of a black box by manipulating the box and hearing and feeling how a steel ball rolls around.

Radioactive Decay Cards—Super Value Game

With the Radioactive Decay Card Game for Chemistry and Physics, students determine the natural decay of uranium-238 to lead-206 by arranging element cards and beta and alpha particle cards to create the uranium-238 decay series.

Introduction to Radioactivity and Half-life Experiment Kit

With the Introduction to Radioactivity and Half-Life Experiment Kit, students readily grasp the concepts of radioactivity and half-life determination. Students conduct a series of experiments and graph the results.

Nuclear Shielding—Super Value Kit

With the Nuclear Radiation Shielding Laboratory Kit, students quickly recognize the differences in the penetrating power of alpha, beta and gamma radiation. This is the most comprehensive radioactivity shielding kit available!

Radioactivity Half-Life Simulation—Super Value Laboratory Kit

In the Radioactivity Half-Life Simulation Super Value Laboratory Kit, students are given a set of dice along with a designated “decay” number. Students conduct a series of dice rolls and determine the “half-life.”

Artifact Ages—Radiometric Dating Simulation—Super Value Kit

Using the Artifact Ages Radiometric Dating Simulation Kit, students learn about radioactivity. Students calculate the age of artifacts by examining samples containing “parent” and “daughter” isotope represented by multicolored bingo chips.

Carbon Dating Activity—Super Value Puzzle

Using the Carbon Dating Activity Super Value Puzzle, students find out how archeologists use radiocarbon dating to determine the age of artifacts. Students arrange a set of story and picture tiles in a logical sequence to form a storyboard.

Characteristics of Nuclear Radiation—Super Value Laboratory Kit

In the Characteristics of Nuclear Radiation and Shielding Laboratory Kit, students test a known source of radiation. Next, they place two types of shielding materials in front of the source and record what “penetrates” the material.

Quantum Leap Target Sheet Refill Pack

With the Target Sheets Refill Package for The Quantum Leap Atomic Structure Laboratory Kit, take a “quantum leap” to find an electron’s location around a nucleus again and again!

Quantum Leap—Student Laboratory Kit

With the Quantum Leap Atomic Structure Laboratory Kit, take a “quantum leap” to find an electron’s location around a nucleus! Students visualize shapes and positions of the 1s and 2s orbitals in an atom.

Electron Structure—1s Orbital—Super Value Laboratory Kit

With the Electron Structure 1s Orbital Atomic Structure Laboratory Kit, students “roll the dice” to model probability and electron structure. The activity simulates the results of wave mechanical calculations of the 1s electron energy.

Introduction to Electron Structure—Student Laboratory Kit

With the Introduction to Electron Structure Chemistry Laboratory Kit, several workstation “atoms” are built. An energy level diagram, atom and ion symbols and bingo chips representing electrons help students visualize electron structure.

Naming Atoms—Elements, Ions and Isotopes—Super Value Laboratory Kit

The Naming Atoms—Elements, Ions and Isotopes Super Value Laboratory Kit is an activity with stations containing marbles symbolizing neutrons, protons and electrons. Students determine if the marbles represent an element or ion.

Atomic Target Practice—Rutherford Scattering and the Nuclear Atom—Super Value Guided-Inquiry Kit

Use the Atomic Target Practice—Rutherford Scattering Super Value Guided-Inquiry Kit to engage students in the atomic age. Students shoot marbles at an unknown, unseen object. Trace the path of a marble to predict the size and shape of the target.

Atomic Coatings—The Size of an Atom—Student Laboratory Kit

The Atomic Coatings and the Size of an Atom Chemistry Laboratory Kit allows students to “see” the minute size of an atom by measuring the mass of zinc coating on a piece of galvanized iron. This experiment is quick, simple and accurate.

Think Tube—Demonstration Kit

The Think Tube Scientific Method Demonstration Kit gives students insight into what it could have been like to imagine the nature of an atom. Students can appreciate the challenges associated with things that can’t be directly observed.

Half-Life Simulation—Classroom Activity Kit

With the Half-Life Simulation Radioactivity Classroom Activity Kit, students roll the dice and study radioactive decay. The probability that an atom will decay after a certain period of time can be modeled by another process, rolling dice.

Nuclear Fission—Demonstration Kit

The Nuclear Fission Radioactivity Demonstration Kit illustrates the properties of a nuclear chain reaction with a creative domino-toppling activity. Students learn about nuclear reactions and how it’s possible for energy to be released quickly.

Radon Test—Demonstration Kit

The Radon Test Radioactivity Demonstration Kit provides an excellent approach to studying radon. The short-term test kit allows instructors to “screen” the home for radon problems. Once the radon test kit is exposed, it is sent to the lab.

The Photoelectric Effect—Light Energy Demonstration Kit

The Photoelectric Effect Light Energy Demonstration Kit displays the photoelectric effect using a zinc plate attached to a charged electroscope. Easily bring the excitement of the quantum age into your classroom.

Radioactive Sources

Use these radioactive sources to compare different types of radiation. The isotope name, type of radiation, activity in microcuries and half life is written on each sealed disc.
