The focus of this episode is the properties of ionizing radiation. It is a good idea to introduce these through a consideration of safety.
Please provide a rating.
Investigations into alpha,beta and gamma radiation starting from the initial question "Why are radioactive substances hazardous?". Experiments, safety hints and a discussion of the inverse square law are also included. Excellent resource.
