Nuclear Science Teacher Activity booklet
Candace C. Davison and Lois W. Lunetta, editor.
For many summers the Radiation Science
and Engineering Center at Penn State has been the site of a Nuclear
Concepts and Technological Issues Institute for secondary school
science teachers. As a culminating activity of the institute teachers
develop lesson plans, laboratory experiments, demonstrations,
or other activities and projects to take with them for use in
their own science classrooms.
This booklet contains twenty especially
creative, unusual, or well designed projects selected from those
devised during recent summers, with the hope that they may prove
useful to other science teachers in their classrooms. Many of
the activities are very simple and appropriate for various classes
and grade levels. A few are more complex and therefore better
suited to upper level or advanced science classes. Some activities
may be done individually in class or at home; others require cooperation
by one or more groups of students in order to obtain sufficient
data to complete the project. Several interesting activities include
simulations, games and puzzles.
Booklets are available for only
the cost of envelope and postage (while supplies last). To receive
a booklet please send a self-addressed 10" by 13" empty padded
or non-tear (Tyvek type) envelope with PRIORITY POSTAGE to:
- Penn State Breazeale Reactor
- University Park, PA 16802
- request: Nuclear Science Activity
Booklet.
Note that Priority Postage is $3.00
for up to two pounds sent anywhere in the U.S. (Note that the
booklet weighs 1.5 pounds.) The $3.00 postage must be affixed
to the envelope and PRIORITY written on the envelope. Check with
your local post office for envelope and postage details.
If you have any questions or need
further information please contact Candace Davison at the above

- Howard Hughes Medical Institute Videos
HHMI has available as a public service
to the scientific community the following laboratory safety training
videos. Designed to provide a technical safety review for experienced
laboratory workers, and to introduce new staff to good laboratory
practices, each video promotes laboratory safety and supplements the
formal instruction provided in universities and biomedical research
laboratories.
- Practicing Safe Science 29 minutes
- Safety instruction is presented in a
lively and challenging way. Chemical, physical and biological hazards
in the molecular biology laboratory are addressed through reenactments
of actual laboratory accidents and demonstrations of good safety techniques.
A significant message in the video is the importance of good work habits
and consideration for others.
- Controlling Your Risks: HIV in the
Research Laboratory 28 minutes
- In a documentary style, this video addresses
the basic principles of biological safety. While the program centers
around working with live HIV and human blood specimens, the principles
discussed and illustrated are equally relevant to protection against
transmission of other bloodborne pathogens and infectious microorganisms.
- Safety in the Research Laboratory:
Set One 30 minutes
- This three part video series gives guidance
on controlling the hazards associated with common activities that are
carried out in the modern biology laboratory. Instructions in safe techniques
are provided that can help laboratory workers protect themselves from
these hazards. The series is available on three separate cassettes or
packaged together as "Set One".
- Radionuclides Hazards 12 minutes
- . . . features the protocol random primer
labeling for southern hybridization. The types of emission and associated
hazards of some of the most common radionuclides used in biomedical
research, including P-32, H-3, S-35, P-33, and I-125, are reviewed.
- Chemical Hazards 10 minutes
- . . features the protocols phenol-chloroform
extraction and ethanol precipitation. The video demonstrates the safety
principles that apply to working with hazardous chemicals such as phenol,
tris hydrochloride, chloroform, sodium acetate, and ethanol.
- Emergency Response 12 minutes
- . . . stresses preparation and training.
The video addresses fire safety and emergencies involving personal injuries,
and includes demonstrations on the proper cleanup of spills involving
radioactive materials, chemicals and biological agents.
- Centrifugation Hazards 9 minutes
- . . . reviews the choices critical to
safety that researchers face when centrifuging... which centrifuge?
which rotor? which tubes and adapters? what speed and for how long?
what level of containment? The video demonstrates safe centrifugation
practices.
- Chemical Storage Hazards 11 minutes
- . . . reviews the basic principles of
safe chemical storage. The video addresses organic and inorganic chemicals,
acids, bases, flammables, toxics, caustics, oxidizers, and corrosives
and offers guidance for storing chemicals safely in a typical research
laboratory.
- Glassware Washing Hazards 10 minutes
- . . . demonstrates skillful glassware
washing and sterilization techniques. The video stresses the importance
of proper glassware washing to good science, promotes the use of personal
protective equipment, and encourages teamwork and good work habits.
