This unit focuses on radioactive decay, examining the three main types of decay - alpha, beta, and gamma. It explores the history of discoveries in radioactive decay through famous figures and experiments. The unit also looks at applications of radioactive decay such as radiometric dating, sterilization, and nuclear power. Students conclude the unit by creating robotic models of radioactive decay phenomena.

1. Abstract
This unit’s focus is radioactive decay. To begin the unit the general radioactive decay process is
examined. This portion of the unit focuses upon the three major types of radioactive decay;
alpha, beta, and gamma decay. Following the processes a transitions to the history behind
radioactive decay is made. During this part of the unit famous figures and experiments of
radioactive decay are explored. Finally the unit examines some of the uses of radioactive decay.
Of particular focus are uses like radiometric dating, sterilization, and nuclear power. To conclude
the unit, robotics are utilized. The students create some phenomena related to radioactive decay
with robots. This unit incorporates a plethora of media, methods, and materials. The unit also
uses a vast amount of technology; some of the technology used includes Twitter, Facebook,
Weebly, PowerPoint, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and so on.
