Year 7-8 In Their Elements Online Learning

Bring the periodic table to life in this interactive videoconference lesson. 

Students see real samples of common elements, learn about their history, properties and uses, and find out how the periodic table was developed during the 19th century. 

Students review atomic structure, elements and the organisation of today's periodic table, before applying their knowledge and skills in a fun periodic table game.

We used electrostatically-charged balloons to accumulate radon progeny from the air (Getty Images).

Investigating radiation in the air we breathe

Radon is a significant component of background radiation and can accumulate in poorly ventilated indoor environments. 

In this data set, we investigated the effect of electrostatically charging a balloon, which was then hung in an enclosed space, on its level of radioactivity. 

Students write a hypothesis, graph data, write a conclusion and use provided information to answer questions about radioactivity and radon, experimental design, accuracy, validity and reliability.
