Recent homeworks for Mr Lawrence

Due tomorrow (Wednesday 13th) is a piece of writing around one side in your exercise book on the following:

"Discuss advantages and disadvantages of generating electricity using nuclear fission and nuclear fusion."

This means that you need to give both sides of two different technologies. Probably the biggest drawback of nuclear fusion as a source of energy is that nobody has got this to work yet... The question is, should we be investing large sums of money in trying to make it work, when we could stick to the nuclear power stations we have already, which use nuclear fission.

Due last week were answers to these questions:
Radioactive decay end of topic questions.

Our previous homework was to produce, in the form of a poster or leaflet, a guide to the dangers and safety precautions associated with working with radioactive sources. This should include information about the different dangers of alpha, beta and gamma sources.
