Principle
The relationship between the distance and the radiation intensity is determined with the aid of the sample by increasing the distance between the Geiger-Müller counter tube and the sample.
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
The students investigate how the intensity of radiation from a radioactive source changes with increasing distance.
Learning Objectives
The students use the experiment to derive the relationship between the distance and the radiation intensity of the radioactive source.
