Principle
The types of radiation emitted by the sample are investigated by different shielding methods, such as lead or paper, using the Geiger-Müller counter tube.
Benefits
- Especially understandable and didactically prepared description of the experiment (relevance to everyday life, etc.) including protocol questions.
- Future-oriented teaching: Integration into digital science lessons with tablets or smartphones.
- Increased motivation of students by using the intuitive measureAPP.
- Increased media competence.
Tasks
With the help of this experimental setup, the students are to determine different types of radiation based on the various shielding options.
Learning Objectives
In this experiment the students should apply their knowledge of the different properties of the different types of radiation and the methods to identify the types of radiation.
