E3 plan: Radioactive decay
Big picture Guiding questions It is important to get the stepping stones right here, because an understanding of isotope stability is required for radioactive decay, fission and fusion. Specifcally in radioactive decay (E3) we look at spontaneous changes to nuclei and what 'random' means in a physics context. Understandings All students will look at ideas relating to isotopes, binding energy (and binding energy per...
