Abstract

Abstract: We propose discussions and hands-on activities for GCSE and A-level students, covering a fundamental aspect of nuclear physics: the concept of bonds and the energy released (absorbed) when a bond is created (broken). This is the first of the series of papers named A teaching guide of nuclear physics, whose main goal is to provide teaching tools and ideas to GCSE and A-level teachers, within a consistent and complete curriculum.
