Hon Chemistry 11-17-15 Intro to Radioactivity

HON CHEMISTRY: Welcome to nuclear chemistry! No, really – I think you’ll be surprised how much nuclear chemistry is already a part of your everyday life. And now you know where E=mc2 came from!!

Here’s the lecture from Tuesday on a bit of the “history” of radioactivity. By the way, when you get a chance, read about the life of Marie Cure – fascinating woman of science with an incredible story!

I enjoyed seeing your presentations today – especially your creativity! Great exercise for that right side of your brain!!

Some items for contemplation: why are certain plastics recyclable and others not…and what about dishwasher and microwave safe? Hmmmmm…
