Abstract

Teaching nuclear physics, particle decay laws, and atomic structure can be challenging for many students, as it is a complex subject, despite being necessary and important. In this scenario, the use of playful tools to aid learning can facilitate the process, as well as being an enjoyable and accessible way to understand the subject. Thus, this article aims to present “Radiofarm,” a board game based on concepts of nuclear physics. “Radiofarm” was created with the goal of stimulating physics learning, encouraging participants' reasoning, and presenting complex subjects in an engaging and relaxed way. When tested, it demonstrated clear rules and objectives, achieving high acceptance among evaluators.
