Today was much better. I understood a lot of what was mentioned by both Dr. Koppang and Dr. Mei. For me, today's lectures would have worked better yesterday as it was more of an introduction. When Dr. Koppang asked what malleability was, I felt so relieved that I knew the answer. I knew today would be a better day.
Dr. Koppang discussed the ABC's of radioactivity and nuclear reactions. He mentioned isotopes, carbon dating, cold fusion, Rutherford, a refresher of the periodic table, radio activity/radiation, ionizing, and malleable.
Dr. Mei discussed the detection of radiation. We also viewed his radon detector. I would have like Dr. Mei to provide us with his power point.
Our afternoon was spent with two presentations, a cloud chamber lab, and working on our cosmic ray detector. I soldered for the first time.
I am looking forward to more learning tomorrow.
