Year 9-10 Introduction to Nuclear Science
This tour is an introduction to isotopes, radioactivity and half-life, and the real-life applications of these concepts. Students will do a series of hands-on activities using the workbook below. Please ensure that you bring printed copies of the workbook for the students to use while completing these activities.
We are working on new content to address the new 2026 NSW Science Stage 5 (Year 9-10) syllabus.
All tours are available Monday to Friday for Years 7 to 12 classes. The cost per student is $12.50 and teachers are free.
Teachers are requested to print enough copies of the relevant workbook for their class before their visit to ANSTO, as students will not be permitted to bring digital devices on-site.
