Task 1: Finish taking notes on the case files.
Learning Goal: Use models to describe the characteristics of alpha, beta, and gamma radioactive decay processes in terms of balanced nuclear equations to help solve the case. REVIEW: Radioactive elements are unstable. To become stable, they release subatomic particles and energy. Some radioactive isotopes undergo alpha decay. By releasing an alpha particle (essentially a helium nucleus of 2 protons and 2 neutrons), they work toward becoming a stable isotope. STATIONS: As you rotate through learning stations, record your answers in your Science Notebook. Title the page Alpha Decay Case Research.
