The students will apply previously acquired knowledge of the nuclear atom, quantum mechanics and the atom's subatomic architecture in order to further appreciate and conceptualize a nuclear process using stop motion animation.
This unit is more about motivating students who might not otherwise be motivated to learn a particular set of complex material. The goal of this unit is not so much to teach Nuclear Chemistry as it is to produce a sustainable creative tension within the student that drives him/her to ingest and process inherently difficult material. Furthermore, the student must synthesize new ideas related to this material whose byproduct serves as evidence of their learning.
