"Gone fission?"
Explore mousetraps and
motion with several fun
videos and see what a few ping pong balls flying has to do with
nuclear reactions.

Gone ‘fission’?
Then explore the power of
bombarding neutrons, the
discovery of fission, and demonstrate
the concepts with a twisted balloon
experiment!

Stop, Drop, and Split? An Oil-Drop Model of a Splitting Atom
Many scientists have suggested that a
splitting atom behaves somewhat like a drop
of liquid when it breaks up into droplets. This experiment
demonstrates the point.

A Domino Model of a Chain Reaction
Students demonstrate a controlled type of rapid-fire chain reaction in a nuclear
reactor with dominoes.
Then they use rulers to simulate the role of control
rods in nuclear reactors.

Shut the Box!
Once your kids get hooked on this classic strategy
game, you'll have a hard time getting them to stop!
This game can help reinforce addition,
multiplication and mental math skills. It’s incredibly
easy to play, but just like in science and atoms, choose carefully, one wrong choice can start a chain reaction, or stop you in your tracks!
This fun game can even challenge adults!

A World Changing Reaction• Discuss and explore the triumph and horror the
scientists felt at what they had discovered.
• Explore the intended benefits and unexpected side effects of nuclear power.
• Discuss what Albert Einstein did…

The Fission Game
This fun balloon activity is meant to demonstrate that a nuclear reaction is
constantly producing energy and to help students understand how a large atomic nucleus
can be split into two smaller particles, which produce energy for nuclear power.

Nuclear Clams! Stop the Leak
A fun tag style physical activity game to reinforce concepts discussed during the
week.

Fast Fission!
A.k.a. Balloon Stomp! Blow up two balloons (atoms) for
each of the student‘s cientists’ and tie one to each of their ankles. Let
the mayhem begin as the mad scientist quickly walk around the
room trying to fissure (burst) each others atoms but at the same time trying to preserve their own. The
scientists who manages to preserve the last atom is the winner.
