• Resumen

  • We present here a board game that introduces the concept of a radioactive decay chain. The game explores the four natural decay series, permitting students to identify alpha and beta decays. All the parts can be made with wood/plastic panels using a laser cut/engraver machine or be printed on paper sheets using a conventional printer.
