A basic background in nuclear physics for those who want to start at the beginning.
Nuclear physics is an important pursuit because the study of the nucleus of the atom
is at the heart of our ability to understand the universe. It provides answers and
expands our knowledge of both the infinitely small and the extremely large.
Nuclear physics is ubiquitous in our lives: Detecting smoke in our homes, testing for
and treating cancer, and monitoring cargo for contraband are just some of the ways
that nuclear physics and the techniques it has spawned make a difference in our
safety, health, and security. Together we will learn about nuclear power plants,
nuclear medicine, we will know what types of radiation can penetrate human skin. As
play is our brain's favorite way of learning we will do all this with educational games
and short videos. Let's explore the wonderful world of nuclear physics together.
