This year, I had tried to bring a little more inquiry and research based skills into my Physics 30 classroom. One of the tasks that I had my students had come from the website
TeachNuclear. The task is called “Attack of the 50 Foot Mutant: Radiation in Popular Culture,” where the students need to research some sort of radioactive mutant in popular culture (Spiderman, The Fantastic 4, the people from The Hills Have Eyes, etc) and determine whether their mutations are realistic based on our current knowledge of radioactivity. The students will then create a poster (or other form of presentation, such as a video, slideshow, etc) explaining the differences between the fact and fiction of their choice mutant.
I have included links to the pages involved in the lesson below, including an Achievement Chart.
TeachNuclear also ties into the curriculum of every province. To find specific lessons that are tied to your provinces curriculum and grade, just type into the search bar on the side of the website!
