Radiation Protection School Resources
Lesson Plans and Posters
Below you can find all our Lesson Plans and Posters for free download and use. Please also take a look at our Basics of Radiation leaflet.
We also have the following four videos - each approximately 45 mins:
- The Importance of Radiation to the Medical Protection
- What's the Risk - putting numbers on the chances in your life? (Prof David Spiegelhalter)
- Radiation Don't Panic!
- Our Radioactive World
SRP has developed lesson plans for use in schools and colleges. The content is matched to curriculum topics in pre-GCSE science.
Lesson Plan 1 - Basic Principles of Radiation Protection - for external sources
Lesson Plan 2 - Basic Interactions of Ionising Radiation with Matter
Lesson Plan 3 - Everyday Items
Lesson Plan 4 - Demonstration of Half-Life
Lesson Plan 5 - Fission Chips
Lesson Plan 6 - Contamination
The following posters supplement the lesson plans and are used at our shows and events. Each poster is available as a free download.
