Conceptual Physics Alive: Fission and Fusion includes a digital video and questions set with answers. Observe Paul Hewitt teach in a classroom with real students, using engaging demonstrations and artwork. In this video, fission and fusion are distinguished and compared. Energy release from nuclear reactions is explained in terms of the resulting mass defects. Muon-induced cold fusion is briefly discussed. Segment length: 36 minutesFission and Fusion Includes:  Hewitt begins with a historical perspective of atom smashers. Sample fission reaction. Small mass particles for moderating neutrons. Energy comparisons. Reactions of U-238, U-239, and Np-239. Plutonium. Bombs dropped on Japan during World War II. Mass model for energy release of fission. Mass/nucleon for the elements. Chalkboard graph of nuclear mass versus atomic number. Contrast with graph of mass/nucleon versus atomic number. Skit of shaking nucleons to describe graphs. Work required to remove a nucleon from a nucleus. Fiss
