Brayfield (pictured right) visited Twin Lakes High School in Monticello, Indiana where he presented to the Chemistry classes.

Brayfield introduced students to material on nuclear energy, demonstrations of the radiation detector and radioactive items, and cloud chambers. Students were able to assemble their own cloud chambers, which allowed them to see the path of radiation particles as they left a trail of droplets in the saturated region.

Brayfield is the recipient of the 2014-2015 Teaching Academy Graduate Teaching Award. To learn more, visit: http://www.purdue.edu/cie/teachingacademy/outsdandingteaching.html
