I need help in designing a lab on the three types of radiation. We need to design a lab that can detect Alpha, Beta and Gamma radiation. It has to be reasonable and efficient. Any ideas or suggestions?

You'll want a cloud chamber then. Essentially a container of air supersaturated with alcohol vapour, in which particles passing through leave a trial. Gamma should be hard to detect, though...

Google for the details.

Depending on the application, I would be inclined to go with Photographic plates/film and various types of shielding.
