Students create websites to share research on nuclear science

Years ago, students might have created poster projects to share research. This might have been a great way to share learning with a class, but why should it stop there?

Mrs. Buss's accelerated freshmen science class is building websites to share their research with the world.

Students began by learning about nuclear reactions and modern uses for these reactions. The research goes far beyond the atomic bomb. Nuclear medicine, uses and agriculture, and industrial power are all explored as modern uses.

Students were given specific research areas, and were tasked with creating a website to share their research. The websites, which can be shared with the world, include carefully researched information, images, and video sources to help to explain their topic.

Students see the real-world relevance to this work, and their work can legitimately inform others. Great real-world connections!
