Today is National Nuclear Science Day!
Today is National Nuclear Science Day, an event celebrating nuclear science and technology. The American Nuclear Society is proud to be a sponsor of this full-day event at the Illinois Institute of Technology that features world-class nuclear experts in many fields of nuclear science and technology. The experts, during presentations during the day, are explaining what nuclear is all about during live internet webinars and question-and-answer sessions for students in grades 5-12 (and other interested parties).
You can register for the webinars by visiting the National Science Teachers Association Learning Center-a great all-around resource for science learning). The webinar is open to the public (free registration is required).
For details on the Nuclear Science Day agenda, the presenters, and all the day's information, check out the Nuclear Science Day Press Release. About 1,000 classrooms are viewing the webcast throughout the day-representing more than 20,000 students and teachers across the United States.
