Radioactive Film Quiz | Grades 9-12

Why Use the Radioactive Film Quiz?

The Radioactive Film Quiz transforms Amazon Studios’ 109‑minute, PG‑13 biographical drama into a ready‑to‑teach exploration of scientific discovery, ethics, and gender barriers in early 20th‑century Europe. Students trace Marie Curie’s breakthroughs—polonium, radium, and radioactivity itself—while weighing the personal costs and global impact of her work. Because the resource lives entirely in Google Slides, teachers can assign it digitally or print handouts (choose “2 slides per page” or “4” for mini‑booklets) with zero reformatting. (IMDb listing)
