The History of Plutonium

Image
 A ring of made of Plutonium Plutonium was created by Glenn Seaborg, Edwin Mcmillan, Joseph Kennedy, and Arthur Whol in 1941. They created the element when bombarding Uranium-238 with deuteron particles. Beacause it is made from uranium, it is highly radioactive. Because it is a Synthetically created element, you would not find this in nature. It is created as a Element most of the time. It can be made into 15 different isotopes ranging from 232 - 246,  many of which are made into atomic bombs ( Such as the Little boy and Fat man ). Plutonium appears as a silver-gray solid but tarnishes when exposed to air. Atomic structure of Plutonium Plutonium is located in Group 7 of the Actinides (Bottom row of the Periodic Table and all are radioactive solids). in Period VIII (8) Plutonium Is highly Radioactive

Problems We need a new nature trail, because the old one got destroyed in the new field, and it would be fun to make. We need a new Nature Trail Last year,  we cleared out the forest to make room for the new "Sports Field" and destroyed the 6th's grade nature trail project. This is really annoying because the nature trail was fun to go on, but we never got to go on it. I bet it was also annoying for the 6th grade to see their hard project go to waste. Building a new one could be our 8th grade project and would be fun to make in the process. My solution is to clear out the trail to the soccer field. Yes it is overgrown now, but with some hard work we can get it done. we could put some wood chips over some ground we clear out to make a trail, and put some other things along the way. We could put some signs like the 6th Graders did, with info about God and other things about nature. The cleared out area could also double as a trail for cross country, an...
