About This Product
The model is used in modern physics lessons to show how stars produce energy and how fusion reactors aim to copy that process. Comparing it with a fission model makes the difference between joining and splitting nuclei clear to students.
Frequently Asked Questions
What concepts does the Nuclear Fusion Model cover?
