This unit covers the atomic basis of radiology including the structure of the atom, the formation of x-rays, the effect of x-rays on living tissues and on film; as well as fluoroscopy.
It supplements Joyce Calarco’s unit on the historical development of cathode ray tubes, as well as the unit by Marcella Flake and Carolyn Kinder which deals with the subject of radiology and safety on a middle school level.
My unit can be used most effectively by ninth-grade physical science, tenth-grade biology, high school physics, chemistry, laboratory technology, and human physiology classes.
