This tutorial on nuclear chemistry for non-scientists explores the basics of radioactive decay and nuclear fission. It contains four interactive simulations that depict fission of a U-235 atom, two types of radioactive chain reactions, and nuclear fusion.
Editor's Note: The VisionLearning tutorial features conversational language and is organized for novice learners. It is appropriate for K-8 teachers and high school physics students as well. Don't miss the "Questions and Quizzes" and links to additional resources on the topic. See Related Materials for a comprehensive tutorial on nuclear reactions, appropriate for teachers seeking deeper content knowledge on the topic. Please note that this resource requires Flash.
