Introduction
The introduction of this project is too show the meaning of the effects radiation has on the daily life of students from Chavez high school. Many of us don’t know what radiation means let me enlighten your mind in physics, radiation is the emission or transmission of energy in the form of waves or particles through space or through a material medium (Google). Radiation is used in our life in different ways and to figure that out we’re going to ask a few students from Chavez to tell us how much they expose themselves to radiation.
Purpose of project:
The purpose of this project is mostly to determine and know how much radiation Chavez High School students are exposed too on their daily life. Which most of don’t know to how …show more content…
His student Marie Curie discovered that only certain chemical elements gave off these rays of energy and named this radioactivity. Although Becquerel called this radioactivity, Curie later coined the term “radiation”. She’d be the first to work with radioactive materials and also later discover other radioactive elements such as thorium, polonium, and radium. In 1901 within months of studying and experimenting, systems were being made to use x-rays for diagnosis, and within 3 years radiation was used in to treat cancer. Radiation therapy began with radium and with relatively low-voltage diagnostic machines. Although not close to completely perfecting the uses of radiation for treatment, the technology since then has only gotten better, saving countless lives and making other last longer. It hasn’t been all pretty since the introduction of radiation into regular daily life though. One major events to realize the dangers of working with radiation was the case of the “Radium Girls,” workers who were painting watch dials with radium knew it was dangerous and led the company’s suspicion of the effects radiation and take precautions, yet many of the workers would lick their brushes to properly shape them, and the radiation deposited in their bones and led to radiation sickness. Nobody really knows how much people died from but, the public interest led to the first long-term …show more content…
Radiation can make a change in cells when they are outside of our body no matter how small they’re they can still be seeing by a microscope. The exposure of 10,000 or more REM will lead to death in a few hours, 200-300 REM causes nausea which will then require medical attention. 0-5 REM is the normal and they’re no health risks although above 10 REM the chances of getting cancer increases. Now taking this to our actual body and giving a better understanding our hair can be affected by radiation if we’re exposed to 200 rems or higher. Our brain cells do not reproduce, they can’t specifically be damaged unless the exposure of radiation is 5,000 rems or greater. Even though we believe Radiation Therapy is very convenient to people with Cancer it does contain side effects such as nausea, vomiting or diarrhea so the effect mostly occurs in the digestive system. It occurs in other body system of course but the most affected one is the Digestive system.
Data Collecting Instrument-Sentence Construction of the question- Clarity of instrument:
The data collecting instrument we utilize was a survey the purpose of this survey we created was to ask Chavez High School students about the issue regarding the subject to exposure of radiation in the survey we asked them five questions that are obviously related to radiation as we did the survey to get a decent analyzation we had to ask minimum 0f 100 students
