Abstract

The current RBEC high school curriculum begins with a discussion of concepts in modern physics. There are very limited activities that can actually be done in the laboratory to profoundly explain these concepts. As such there is a need to demonstrate simple activities to reinforce the understanding of fundamental concepts in modern physics. The workshop activities include:

Modeling radioactive decay (simulation, graphing, half-life);
Modeling the Rutherford scattering;
Modeling nuclear reactions.
