Energy Nuclear Fusion, Nuclear Fission, Combustion and Solar Radiation.
Fission and Fusion are both nuclear reactions that involve the particles in the nucleus of an atom.
MEASURING RADIATION Large doses of radiation are harmful to living tissue. Radiation can be measured with a Geiger counter – a device that measures radioactivity.
 In nuclear fission, large atoms are split apart to form smaller atoms, releasing energy.  Fission also produces new neutrons when an atom splits. 
Fission and Fusion. Nuclear Reactions Two types of nuclear reactions that release energy.  Fission  Fusion.
Forms of Energy. Energy is essential on this planet It originates from the sun Energy changes form; it is NOT created or destroyed.

The Sun

Fission

The Sun’s Fission Huge release of energy in the form of heat and light. Splitting atoms Atomic bomb

Atomic Shadows

Fusion = powers the sun and stars It is the reaction in which two atoms of hydrogen combine together, or fuse, to form an atom of helium. In the process some of the mass of the hydrogen is converted into energy

Radiation – energy transfer through space by visible light, ultraviolet radiation and other forms of electromagnetic transfer

How do you fight fire? With fire. How do you fight cancer? With radiation

Good things from radiation

Comedy

There is such a thing as being too tan.

Heat for the planet

Photosynthesis

Safety

Helps some skin conditions.

Mood (vitamin D = strengthens bones and immune system)

Purification (kills pathogens)

Pretty sunsets

Bad things from radiation.

Sun-burn

Sunscreen Prank

Protect “fragile” areas

Radiation Poisoning

Skin Cancer

Long-term effects

Drought

Electro Magnetic Pulses (EMP’s) (Solar Flare)

EMP’s threaten computers, electronic gadgets, infrastructure (communication, transportation, banks, food, water, sewer, emergency response, etc)

Albedo
