Students should be able to:
- Explain the motivation for the development nuclear shell model and its basic principle
- Describe how L-S coupling leads to the magic numbers in the nuclear shell model
- Identify total angular momentum (nuclear spin), orbital angular momentum and parity of a nuclear state given an energy level scheme
Warmup your students: ask activating questions at the beginning and at the end of the lesson
