1 The news screenshots in this presentation are intended to give students a sense of the wide range of ways nuclear chemistry can be found in the news. Students do not need to read the article text. Optional commentary about the articles is included in the notes section for each slide. Even with the commentary, the slide presentation will take less than two minutes. You may want to replace some of news stories in this presentation with news stories about nuclear chemistry issues in your community, state, or region.
