Bye Bye Seniors

Seniors left today, though they return on Wednesday for their awards ceremony. The remaining juniors are not sitting idle, however. F Block did not meet due to the modified class schedule, but C and E did take place and students began to explore the idea of radiation. We'll concentrate on the types of radiation (α, β and γ), what occurs in nuclear decay and transmutation and the lab work will center on how shielding and distance can impact radiation exposure. The labs will use NRC-certified safe materials and appropriate safety precautions will be in place, so there's no worry about folks starting to glow green or turn into one of the X-Men.
