Curso: La planificación y supervisión de la enseñanza para la mejora de las trayectorias educativas de los estudiantes by Viviana Sassi

Uso de los reactores nucleares

Objetivos: La intención de este proyecto es trabajar en conjunto con la profesora de Física y usar una webquest para que los alumnos se interioricen en el tema sobre el uso y la función de los reactores nucleares.

Propósitos:

Que los estudiantes conozcan con más profundidad el tema propuesto.
Que puedan resolver las consignas con autonomía.
Que se responsabilicen durante el proceso de resolución del trabajo para lograr un satisfactorio resultado final.

Tasks (actividades)

1)- Look at this picture of a nuclear reactor and match the words that appear on it with these Spanish words.

Sistema de refrigeración del reactor Transformador Condensador Generador de vapor Precalentador Barras de control del mecanismo de arrastre Bomba de alimentación de agua Presurizador

2- Compare these two pictures of Pressurized water reactors and match the vocabulary and decide if most of the words are adjectives, nouns or verbs. Then, compare this type of reactor with the nuclear power reactor.

3- Once you have worked with the vocabulary you have to watch the video that appears on this page: http://www.darvill.clara.net/altenerg/nuclear.htm.

Write an outline of the process you can see in the video.

4- Read this article about nuclear reactors and pressurized power reactors from this page. http://www.world-nuclear.org/info/inf32.html and write a summary of the text including the main information.

5- At home, answer these questions in order to have more information to be included in your Prezi. Next class,we are going to check if the information gathered is the necessary one to be included.

1) What is the difference between nuclear fission and nuclear fusion?

2) Why do we use uranium for nuclear energy?
3) How does nuclear fission work with Uranium?

4) What percent does nuclear energy contribute to the total net electricity generated in the U.S.?

5) How do nuclear power plants generate electricity?

6) What are the costs and benefits to the environment of using nuclear energy?

7) Where does the U.S. government plan to store the radioactive waste from nuclear power plants?

9) When and where did the first nuclear reactor generate electricity?

10) What are the financial costs and benefits to using nuclear energy?
