Pre-2018 Year 12 Chemistry workbook
This workbook was designed for the old pre-2018 Year 12 Chemistry NSW syllabus, 9.2 Production of Materials
Student workbook
Scientific Models of Nuclear Fission
This workbook examines different scientific models of nuclear fission.
Students solve problems by:
- using modelling (including mathematical examples) to explain phenomena,
make predictions and solve problems using evidence from primary and
secondary sources
- using scientific evidence and critical thinking skills to solve problems
Students will:
- model a nuclear chain reaction
- apply this model to explain how a nuclear chain reaction occurs
- explain the advantages and limitations of the model
- visualise what is meant by nuclear fission
- use critical thinking skills to improve the model
Cyclotrons and PET scans fact sheet
This fact sheet gives an overview of:
- Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans
- Fluorine-18 and its decay
- Production of F-18 using a cyclotron
Cloud Chamber Experiment Guide
This guide gives instructions for building a cloud chamber to visualise natural background radiation, and includes student discussion questions
Teachers notes
Molybdenum Supply Chain Diagram
This annotated flow diagram explains the production of Molybdenum-99 at ANSTO and its delivery to patients as Technetium-99m
Fact sheet
Nuclear Equations Workbook
This workbook gives expanded examples and explanations of the production and decay of radioisotopes, with relevant nuclear equations
Student workbook
Periodic Table of the Elements
This illustrated periodic table explores key information about the chemical elements.
The small poster is also compatible with the ANSTO XR app on iOS and Google play. Alternatively, downloaded posters can be printed landscape on an A3 sheet and hung on a wall to maximise usability.
ANSTO XR
The Free ANSTO XR app uses a mix of AR and VR to transport you to the scale of an atom and discover the world of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
See how synchrotron light generated from super accelerated electrons can give scientists x-ray vision.
See how the ANSTO periodic table poster works with Augmented Reality.
