GCSE Physics - Radioactivity & Half-life - Fission

2 COMPLETE LESSONS ON HALF-LIFE & NUCLEAR FISSION
A complete and detailed lesson on Radioactive half-life and another on nuclear fission (created with AQA and Edexcel specification content).

Learning Objectives for Half-life lesson:
1) Review what is meant by isotope and how this is radioactive.
2) Understand the ‘random’ nature of radioactive decay.
3) State and explain what is meant by ‘half-life’.
4) Draw key conclusions from graphs of radioactive decay.

The lesson is summarised with review questions on the content covered.

Learning Objectives for Fission lesson:
1) State and explain what is meant by Nuclear Fission. (D)
2) State the isotopes commonly used in Nuclear Power stations. (C)
3) Explain the process of a nuclear fission chain reaction. (B)
4) Identify and explain in detail the key features of a Nuclear Power station. (A)

The lesson is summarised with exam style questions.
