The outcomes below can be addressed at the high school level as indicated in each of the themes.

Theme 1: About radioactivity

Activities

  • 4.3 investigates ways of obtaining, transferring and using energy (including from sustainable energy sources and from fossil fuels) for particular purposes
  • 4.4 plans and evaluates investigations that focus on the transfer and transformation of energy
