Science 10: Radioisotope Magazine Article and Lightning Talk GOAL: Research an application of a specific radioisotope and present your findings to your peers
RELEVANCE: Science isn’t isolated. It impacts the rest of the world. Use these factors to guide research.
• Morals: Personal view of what is right or wrong • Political: Relation to governments • Economic: Link to profit (ability to make money) • Social: Relation to people or groups • Cultural: Link to ideas, customs, or behaviors of a society • Ethics: Society’s rules or code of conduct • Environmental: Human impact on the natural world
PART 1. MAGAZINE ARTICLE
• Create a magazine article to educate your peers on a real-‐world application of an isotope • 1 page double sided • 2-‐5 relevant images (with correct citations!) • Effective aesthetic appeal, graphic layout, organization of information and correct in-‐text citations
SIDE 1: SCIENCE BACKGROUND
IDENTIFY What is your isotope? (name and chemical symbol)
DETAILS What nuclear equation is involved in this technology/application of the radioisotope? -‐ Decay (What type? What are the parent/daughter nuclei? What is the half life?) or -‐ Fission & Fusion (What are the parent/daughter nuclei? What is the half life?)
SOURCE
Where does the isotope come from? What is the source? How is it obtained/isolated?
CONNECT Who is involved for the one application/technology you chose for this radioisotope? -‐ Who uses it? -‐ How does it work? (Explain how the radioisotope is involved. Be specific)
SOLVE What specific problem or issue is addressed by the use of this application/technology? -‐ What problem the radioisotope help solve? (What can the radioisotope help do?)
EFFICACY How effective is this application/technology helping solve the problem or issue? -‐ How is the radioisotope providing a solution? (Why the radioisotope is important?)
SIDE 2: IMPLICATIONS & EVALUATION
PROS/CONS
What are the positive and negative implications of using this application/technology? -‐ Advantages (benefits of using this radioisotope related to a specific factor) -‐ Problems/Limitations (limits of using this radioisotope related to a specific factor) -‐ Factors (refer to list at the start of this project handout)
EVALUATE Make a personal statement about whether or not this application/technology should be continued to be used – or if there is a better alternative -‐ Justify your opinion (Refer explicitly to your research to support your choice)
BIBLIOGRAPHY Use Noodle Tools to compile sources (MLA format, in-‐text citations required
PART 2. LIGHTNING TALK
• Lightning talks are very short presentations often given at conferences by several presenters in a session • 2-‐3 minutes presentation to share the most important information from your research

Criterion D: Reflecting on the Impacts of Radioisotopes (0) Beginning (1-‐2) Developing (3-‐4) Accomplished (5-‐6) Exemplary (7-‐8)
I have not achieved a standard described by any of the descriptors to the right.
I am able to: Outline the ways in which an isotope is used to address a specific problem or issue Outline the implications of using an isotope to solve a specific problem or issue, interacting with a factor Apply scientific language to communicate understanding but does so with limited success Document sources, with limited success.
I am able to: Summarize the ways in which an isotope is applied and used to address a specific problem or issue Describe the implications of using an isotope and its application to solve a specific problem or issue, interacting with a factor Sometimes apply scientific language to communicate understanding Sometimes document sources correctly.
I am able to: Describe the ways in which an isotope is applied and used to address a specific problem or issue Discuss the implications of using an isotope and its application to solve a specific problem or issue, interacting with a factor Usually apply scientific language to communicate understanding clearly and precisely Usually document sources correctly.
I am able to: Explain the ways in which an isotope is applied and used to address a specific problem or issue Discuss and evaluate the implications of using an isotope and its application to solve a specific problem or issue, interacting with a factor Consistently apply scientific language to communicate understanding clearly and precisely Document sources completely.
Scientific Language (all to be used clearly and precisely in your magazine pages): Isotope, parent nuclei, daughter nuclei, types of decay (alpha, beta or gamma), fission, fusion, half-‐life
PART 2: LIGHTNING TALK (Communication ATL)
Criterion D: Reflecting on the Impacts of Radioisotopes (0) Beginning (1-‐2) Developing (3-‐4) Accomplished (5-‐6) Exemplary (7-‐8)
I have not achieved a standard described by any of the descriptors to the right.
I am able to: In a limited way communicates thoughts through digital media Rarely uses relevant examples to support the presentation Outlines findings from research and states the problem the isotope is solving and how it is solved with limited success Outlines the pros/cons of using this isotope and briefly states personal evaluation Communicates with limited success mostly within time limit
I am able to: With assistance communicates thoughts somewhat effectively through digital media With assistance uses some relevant examples to support the presentation Summarizes findings from research and states the problem the isotope is solving and how it is solved Summarizes the pros/cons of using this isotope and states personal evaluation Communicates with assistance within time limit
I am able to: Often communicates thoughts through mostly effective use of digital media Often uses mostly relevant examples to support the presentation Discusses key findings from research and describes the problem the isotope is solving and how it is solved Describes the pros/cons of using this isotope and discusses personal evaluation Usually communicates clearly and precisely within time limit
I am able to: Consistently communicates thoughts through effective use of digital media Consistently uses relevant examples to support the presentation Effectively discusses key findings from research and clearly explains the problem the isotope is solving and how it is solved Explains the pros/cons of using this isotope and discusses and evaluates personal evaluation Communicates clearly and precisely and within time limit
Peer Assessment: Everyone will peer-‐assess 1 presentation
