Many students find radiation and radioactive decay difficult topics. The theory can be hard to visualize, and experiments aren’t always easy to carry out in school. But what if you could still offer a practical experiment—without relying on external institutions like the ISP?

In this workshop, you’ll discover how to conduct a classroom-friendly radioactive decay experiment using Coach Lab and LoSalt. We’ll guide you step-by-step in using these tools to help your students explore this complex subject in an interactive and accessible way.

By working with the materials yourself, you’ll experience how this experiment helps students better understand the underlying theory. You’ll not only give them insight into radioactive decay but also make the topic tangible and engaging.

Do you want to enrich your lessons on radiation with a practical, easy-to-implement experiment? Join us and learn how to make radioactive decay both clear and captivating for your students!
