Objectives
◦ Today I will be able to:
 Differentiate between the different types of nuclear accidents
 Begin researching a radioactive incident



Informal asssessment – monitoring student
interactions and questions as they read the
article and participate in the class discussion
Formal assessment – analyze student responses
to the exit ticket
