Okay so in this Nuclear Physics project we learned all about nuclear physics obviously. We learned about how nuclear fission, nuclear fusion, Alpha radiation, Beta radiation, Gamma radiation, history of nuclear physics, and whats going on today with nuclear physics/energy. After learning all about those concepts Mrs.Quinny gave us a checklist for the project she assigned us. O this checklist was stuff we already knew and she gave it to us and told us with all of the stuff you have learned about nuclear physics I want you to create anything you want that has these requirements on it. Basically we could create a book, song, poster, game about nuclear physics as long as you complete all of her requirements. Marcus, Issak, and I decided to group together and create an amazing song about about nuclear physics! At first we were really excited but it became difficult to make all the info we had about nuclear physics into a an amazing song because of the process of putting what info where, how to line up the audio with the music, and how to make the audio clear and easy to understand. Our song included...
Nuclear Fission: "Nuclear fission is the main process generating nuclear energy. A nuclear reaction in which a heavy nucleus splits spontaneously or on impact with another particle, with the release of energy."
Nuclear Fusion: "A nuclear reaction in which atomic nuclei of low atomic number fuse to form a heavier nucleus with the release of energy."
Radiation: "The emission of energy as electromagnetic waves or as moving subatomic particles, especially high-energy particles that cause ionization."
Alpha Radiation: "Ionizing radiation consisting of alpha particles, emitted by some substances undergoing radioactive decay." Examples of Alpha Radiation: Radium, Radon, Uranium, Thorium. Alpha Radiation is the least energetic of the radiations.
Beta Radiation: "Beta decay is a radioactive process in which an electron is emitted from the nucleus of a radioactive atom, along with an unusual particle called an anti neutrino." The second most energetic.
Gamma Radiation: "Gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation, like X-rays. Gamma rays are the most energetic form of electromagnetic radiation. It is also used for treatment of cancerous cell in our body without the use of the surgery, It is used in industries to kill the harmful bacteria, organism like yeast etc., and many other ways."
History of Physics: I learned about many great physicists. For example: Isaac newton, Albert Einstein, Robert Oppenheimer, Galileo, Marie Curie, Werner Heisenberg, and my personal favorite Stephen Hawking. We learned about who they are, what they did, how and why it was important, and how it benefits us today.

Here is the link to the lyrics of the song my group created
Reflection
I am most proud of the nuclear song I made even though I didn't get the grade I wanted on it, I had a great experience creating it. I really got creative and working with my friends really made it a memorable experience. My song is also the thing I would change because I didn't get the grade I intended for. Overall this project was very informative and if I had a chance to do it over I would.
