conceptual understanding. The five dominant misconceptions were in certain areas of radiation health effects, detector operations, fission cross sections, reactor kinetics, and neutron scattering. Elements of these five broad concepts were chosen to be modeled in MCNP with the aim of complementing MCNP results with a simple PowerPoint animation. Specific misconceptions were targeted in the demonstration. A pedagogical model referred as U-POSE methodically sequences students through the five steps of these proposed MCNP demonstrations: Understand, Predict, Observe, Synthesize, and Explain. The final step culminates with students explaining the concept by authoring a representative concept question
