September 9, 2013 Kerstin Sigwart HZDR School Lab to start new set of experiments for the study of radioactivity A first for the DeltaX School Lab: As of April 2012, students grade 9 and up are able to spend a day at the HZDR performing experiments on radioactivity and radiation. "Our goal is to familiarize students with the topic of radioactivity in a factual and physical way," explains Nadja Gneist, the lab's acting director. "After all, radioactivity is a natural phenomenon in our environment." Part of what Gneist and her team do is point out to students the different places in our everyday lives where we encounter radioactivity. As such, the junior scientists are filtering room air in order to assess its radioactivity, they measure groceries and rocks, acquire knowledge about basic regulations, and glean insights into methods for radiation protection. Students will also get in contact with actual emitters, known sources of ionizing radiation. All measurements lie well below legal exemption limits. Each week, the lab hosts up to four classes grades 7 through 13. Topics for study include "light and color" and "magnetism and materials research." With its third set of experiments, DeltaX is currently the only school lab in all of Dresden and beyond to offer experiments for studying radioactivity. www.hzdr.de/deltax
