- Nuclear Science Teacher Activity booklet
Candace C. Davison and Lois W. Lunetta, editor.
For many summers the Radiation Science and Engineering Center at Penn State has been the site of a Nuclear Concepts and Technological Issues Institute for secondary school science teachers. As a culminating
activity of the institute teachers develop lesson plans, laboratory experiments, demonstrations, or other activities and projects to take with them for use in their own science classrooms.
This booklet contains twenty especially creative, unusual, or well designed projects selected from those devised during recent summers, with the hope that they may prove useful to other science teachers in their classrooms. Many of the activities are very simple and appropriate for various classes and grade levels. A few are more complex and therefore better suited to upper level or advanced science classes. Some activities may be done individually in class or at home; others require cooperation by one or more groups of students in order to obtain sufficient data to complete the project. Several interesting activities include simulations, games and puzzles.
Booklets are available for only the cost of envelope and postage (while supplies last). To receive a booklet please send a self-addressed 10" by 13" empty padded or non-tear (Tyvek type) envelope with PRIORITY POSTAGE to:
- Penn State Breazeale Reactor
- University Park, PA 16802
- request: Nuclear Science Activity Booklet.
Note that Priority Postage is $3.00 for up to two pounds sent anywhere in the U.S. (Note that the booklet weighs 1.5 pounds.) The $3.00 postage must be affixed to the envelope and PRIORITY written on the envelope.
Check with your local post office for envelope and postage details.

- Howard Hughes Medical Institute Videos
HHMI has available as a public service to the
scientific community the following laboratory safety
training videos. Designed to provide a technical safety
review for experienced laboratory workers, and to
introduce new staff to good laboratory practices, each
video promotes laboratory safety and supplements the
formal instruction provided in universities and
biomedical research laboratories.
- Practicing Safe Science 29 minutes
- Safety instruction is presented in a lively and
challenging way. Chemical, physical and biological
hazards in the molecular biology laboratory are addressed
through reenactments of actual laboratory accidents and
demonstrations of good safety techniques. A significant
message in the video is the importance of good work
habits and consideration for others.
- Controlling Your Risks: HIV in the Research
Laboratory 28 minutes
- In a documentary style, this video addresses the basic
principles of biological safety. While the program
centers around working with live HIV and human blood
specimens, the principles discussed and illustrated are
equally relevant to protection against transmission of
other bloodborne pathogens and infectious microorganisms.
- Safety in the Research Laboratory: Set One 30
minutes
- This three part video series gives guidance on
controlling the hazards associated with common activities
that are carried out in the modern biology laboratory.
Instructions in safe techniques are provided that can
help laboratory workers protect themselves from these
hazards. The series is available on three separate
cassettes or packaged together as "Set One".
- Radionuclides
Hazards 12 minutes
- . . . features the protocol random primer labeling for
southern hybridization. The types of emission and
associated hazards of some of the most common
radionuclides used in biomedical research, including
P-32, H-3, S-35, P-33, and I-125, are reviewed.
- Chemical
Hazards 10 minutes
- . . features the protocols phenol-chloroform extraction
and ethanol precipitation. The video demonstrates the
safety principles that apply to working with hazardous
chemicals such as phenol, tris hydrochloride, chloroform,
sodium acetate, and ethanol.
- Emergency Response 12
minutes
- . . . stresses preparation and training. The video
addresses fire safety and emergencies involving personal
injuries, and includes demonstrations on the proper
cleanup of spills involving radioactive materials,
chemicals and biological agents.
- Centrifugation Hazards 9 minutes
- . . . reviews the choices critical to safety that
researchers face when centrifuging... which centrifuge?
which rotor? which tubes and adapters? what speed and for
how long? what level of containment? The video
demonstrates safe centrifugation practices.
- Chemical Storage Hazards 11 minutes
- . . . reviews the basic principles of safe chemical
storage. The video addresses organic and inorganic
chemicals, acids, bases, flammables, toxics, caustics,
oxidizers, and corrosives and offers guidance for storing
chemicals safely in a typical research laboratory.
- Glassware Washing Hazards 10 minutes
- . . . demonstrates skillful glassware washing and
sterilization techniques. The video stresses the
importance of proper glassware washing to good science,
promotes the use of personal protective equipment, and
encourages teamwork and good work habits.
