Abstract:
The project started from the consideration that the subjective perception (sensation) of the risk doesn’t correspond very often to the objective and real risk of human activity. In particular, our perception of radioactivity is often misleading because of the lack of accurate information. A way to approach this theme, to make the public more trusting of nuclear issues related also to medical applications is to discuss radioactivity and ionizing radiation starting from young students. An experimental activity that involves secondary school students has been developed. It allows them to provide basic and correct information with the added benefit of being able to an experimental approach.
