Description

The students test freshly fallen snow for radioactivity. For this they wet a glass fiber filter with melted snow, dry it and record the count rates. This shows that we are surrounded by natural radioactivity and can also detect it. The detection is more successful with snow that has fallen after a dry period, because more radon could then collect in the air beforehand.
