Main part of the IDAF project
"Energy 100 years ago, today, in 100 years"
My project will be about nuclear energy. I find it a really interesting topic and I know different things to write and research about it.
Below is my concept draft for the project - own thoughts of how I could start and what I could write about it.
100 years ago:
writing and researching about Marie Curie, polonian physician who discovered radioactivity and radiochemistry
Today:
- how is nuclear energy used today?
- is it more dangerous or safer than 100 years ago?
- Accident of Tchernobyl and atombombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki
- "Halbwertszeit" and the C14-method (S. 144 mathbook)
- Nuclear energy in our everyday life especially in movies/hollywood productions
In 100 years:
evtl. a new form of calculating the radioactivity - too little timespan for such a long timedurance - thoughts are working
Required calculation:
I will do a calculation about the radioactive decay with the C14-method and a simple example ( e.g. radioactivity in the area of Tchernobyl or something else with high radioactivity)
Required pictures, drawing, graphics, photos:
I don't know how to solve this problem yet. Because I can't travel to Tchernobyl only to take pictures of nuclear power plants by myself. I'm too bad at drawing and so I think I have to take pictures from the internet. (licensefree pictures or whatelse)
