Dear Emelie:


Health Physics Society, along with North Carolina Chapter, has put 
together a GREAT program for Science Teachers, "Understanding 
Radiation".   Suggest you contact 
HPS in McLean, VA.  They may be able to send you some info.

Address is 1313 Dolly Madison Blvd, Suite 402, McLean, VA  22101.  I 
think the phone number is  703/790-1745  

Good luck!

George Anastas
