  1. Warmup 1) Curium 247 is hit by 2 neutrons, producing iridium 192, 4 neutrons, and another element. Write this equation 2) Lithium 7 and tritium combine to form 2 atoms of helium. How many neutrons are produced? 3) Are each of these equations examples of fission or fusion?

  2. Nuts and Bolts Activity • Work in lab groups • Let me know if you are missing pieces or need help with the neutron to proton ratio (divide and report as a decimal) • Two elements with the same number of protons should have the same symbol! • The fission and fusion equations at the end allow you to dream up new element ideas, use these to make sure you end up with only 6 new elements!
