Experiments with radiation for high school

Abstract

Scope of Study: This report is a compilation of experiments which may used in high school biology and chemistry classes. These experiments utilize radioisotopes to demonstrate general atomic theory and control of radiation. Radioisotopes are used as tracers to illustrate various principles in biology and to demonstrate chemical properties and processes. General information about use and control of radiation is also covered. An extended bibliography of source material and a list of information sources is included in the Appendix.
