Nuclear Energy Project
For this project you will work with a group to research an aspect of nuclear energy (nuclear power plants, nuclear weapons, or nuclear medicine). You will research the benefits and risks and then take a position of either being FOR or AGAINST the use of radiation in that way. You will create a Google Slide Presentation to present your research to the class.
