Nuclear Nonsense

Atoms that are unstable and begin to break down can emit energy and particles that cause radiation.

The eighth graders worked independently to create a comic strip illustrating how an atom begins to emit radiation. They researched and chose an element from the periodic table that could break down and become radioactive. Then, they created fun characters and settings to show the process of radioactive decay. The comic strips were hung in the middle school hallway for all to read and enjoy!
