Nuclear+Technology

=Nuclear Technology=

//KSTF 2005 Physical Science Cohort//

 * Topic:** Nuclear Technologies


 * Teaching Goal:** How do we help our students teach other students?


 * Key Understanding:** Radioisotopes behave chemically like non-radioisotopes, but radioisotopes, being unstable, have properties of which we take advantage (in technology).

Findings are discussed and expanded in the [|2010 Summer Meeting Powerpoint.] 1. Research needs to be structured and guided. (Providing students with intentional materials for learning is important.) 2. Mechanism of "knowledge dispensation" must be student appropriate. 3. Students should integrate terms/facts with synthesis of overarching ideas. 4. It is essential to specify how we know that group learning has become meaningful. 5. It is essential to specify how we know that class learning has become meaningful. (This is evolved from and moved beyond the scope of the state standards.)
