"Atoms at the Science Fair"
Posted: Fri Aug 22, 2003 1:36 pm
This is an Atoms for Peace-era AEC booklet (picked up on ebay) that was meant to give students tips and ideas for a "nuclear powered" science fair project. Linear accelerators, cyclotrons, controlled fusion reactions etc. The list goes on for several pages. It also gives a list of radioisotope suppliers, which probably don't exist anymore, or supply to the general public (let alone kids).
Interesting to note is the Reference section of the booklet. Here are a few of the titles and authors they have listed. I searched for and found many of these using Bookfinder. Some are already listed elsewhere on the forum, so I won't bother to post those.
ATOMIC EXPERIMENTS FOR BOYS; Raymond F. Yates
EXPERIMENTS WITH ATOMICS; Nelson Beeler, Franklin Branley
SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS YOU CAN MAKE; Helen M. Davis
ATOMIC ENERGY; Irene Jaworski, Alexander Joseph
It also goes on to list several technical reports available from the U.S. government printing office. I can put those up too if you like.
