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.
