Description
Class Experience
This is a condensed version of my 5-week Chemistry 501 course, set to run over 2 weeks with new lessons every other day. What did the Uranium say to the Plutonium? "You're the bomb!" This camp will teach you all about nuclear chemistry. Unlike regular chemistry where electrons are the focus, this 2 week, 5 lesson camp focuses on the cores of the atom or its nucleus. We will look at why the nucleus is so important to our larger world. From basic nuclear decay to full nuclear power...
This class is taught in English.
Students will learn about nuclear reactions, to include fission and fusion. They will take a basic understanding of atoms and develop their knowledge to how nuclear power plants work.
I have a PhD in Nuclear Engineering. I have also taught about the nuclear fuel cycle to homeschool high school children, so I know how to present the material in a fun, interesting way to students that have no prior background about nuclear reactors.
Practice problems will be provided at the end of each lesson and to apply and practice what the student learned from the material presented that week.
Notes pages will be provided for the student to fill out during the lesson.
No live meetings, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
