Fission and Fusion
This lesson plan includes activities for a full unit on Fission and Fusion, which are included in our state science standards. Students will create models of fusion and fission using a free online text as a reference. A rubric for the project is included. Students will watch a video and take notes on the benefits and drawbacks of nuclear power generation. They will finally use the the notes they have taken to participate in a debate in the format of a Socratic seminar to demonstrate their knowledge of the costs and benefits of nuclear power generation.

In this high school lesson, students will get the opportunity to engage in scientific research, studying sustainability and fuel options, while creating models to represent their knowledge.
The lesson is adapted from resources created by the Green Drone AZ Project. This is module 1 of 4 featuring focused activities to address real-world environmental challenges within Arizona communities
This is the first lesson in a series of four that are designed to help guide students to design and implement their own independent STEM research project.
