Scientific Models of Nuclear Fission

This workbook examines different scientific models of nuclear fission.

Students solve problems by:
- using modelling (including mathematical examples) to explain phenomena,
make predictions and solve problems using evidence from primary and
secondary sources
- using scientific evidence and critical thinking skills to solve problems

Students will:
- model a nuclear chain reaction
- apply this model to explain how a nuclear chain reaction occurs
- explain the advantages and limitations of the model
- visualise what is meant by nuclear fission
- use critical thinking skills to improve the model
