Biological Effects of Ionizing Radiation (Radiation
Basics)
http://www.princeton.edu/~ehs/radtrain excerpt from the Radioactive Materials Safety Class at
the Princeton University Initial Radiation Safety Training (for Open-Source
Radioisotope Users) at http://www.princeton.edu/~ehs/radtrain/Modules/ This site contains a brief overview presentation of damage mechanisms, tissue sensitivity, effects, exposure, risks and prenatal exposures. See also http://www.princeton.edu/~ehs/radsafety.html. |
Marie Curie and the Science of Radioactivity
An online exhibit from the American Institute of Physics celebrating the life and work of Curie. http://www.aip.org/history/curie/ Perhaps the most remarkable scientific woman of the 19th century, Curie opened up the science of radioactivity, discovering two elements and winning two Nobel Prizes (her daughter won a third Nobel). This site was written with material from biographer Naomi Pasachoff. |

The CPEP Particle Adventure The Contempory Education Physics Project (CPEP) is a non-profit organization of teachers, educators, and physicists around the world. They have produced a number of excellent materials including award-winning charts and websites for teaching physics and cosmology. http://www.cpepweb.org This lavish site contains interactive tutorials, animationsand classroom materials describing the standard model of particle physicsand elementary particles. |
Plasma Physics & Fusion; The Universe Adventure The Contempory Education Physics Project (CPEP) also has produced charts, lesson plmaterials and extensive sites describing both Plasma Physics & Fusion, and an up-to-date cosmological site, The Universe Adventure. The Universe Adventure includes a discussion of Dark Matter. |
