Student set Radioactivity for 11 experiments, digital, TESS advanced physics RE

Function and Applications

Investigate the basics of radioactivity through a series of experiments ranging from background radiation to the behaviour of gamma rays in a magnetic field. With our set, you can teach learners the significance of physical phenomena, supported by the intuitive Cobra SMARTsense sensors, which enable real-time measurements.

The basic equipment set enables 11 student experiments to be carried out on the following topics:

• Investigations of naturally radioactive materials
• Types of radiation and their properties

In all experiments, the digital measurement sensor Cobra SMARTsense Radioactivity is used in combination with the award-winning and free measureAPP.

Benefits

• Complete equipment set: Minimal preparation time and easy realisation of the experiments thanks to the digital experiment descriptions included as a QR code.
• Coordinated with the educational plans: All subject areas covered.
• Experiments on the basics of radioactivity using generally accessible natural radioactive sources.
• Radioactive emitter required for only four advanced experiments.
• Geiger-Müller tube is part of the set.
• Perfectly tailored to digital science lessons using digital devices.
• THE ideal combination of classic experiments (practical skills) and digital measurement recording (media skills).
• Individual lesson planning possible: you decide which measuring device to use (classic or digital).
• Faster & greater learning success: the use of digital devices increases identification and thus motivates learners.

Technical Specification
The equipment set consists of a storage box and contains all the basic components and Cobra SMARTsense sensors required to carry out the experiments. The sturdy, stackable box is equipped with a custom-fit foam insert that protects the components and enables a quick check for completeness.

The following Cobra SMARTsense sensor is included:

• Cobra SMARTsense Radioactivity: Measurement range: 0 … 40000 cpm, resolution: 1 cpm, sampling rate: 10 Hz (Bluetooth and USB)

For the four experiments “Range and shielding of alpha radiation”, “Deflection of beta radiation in a magnetic field”, “Behaviour of gamma radiation in a magnetic field”, and “Backscattering of beta radiation”, a beta source is required. This and further necessary items are included in the accessories.
