Today we did an experiment about radioactive decay.
We used m&m`s to represent the radioactive nuclei.
This experiment showed us after each toss, the radioactive nuclei usually loses half of it.
In this stimulation it showed the half life, which is the decy of radioactive isotopes, but instead of isotopes we used m&ms.
We gathered up every group`s information, and the average were alike.
However, my group with Mara and Lauren had a bizarre result.
I think it is becauase of the m&m`s we used. The class used the small chocolate milk kind of m&m`s while our group used the big peanut butter ones. The difference in the shapes is probably the reason why. Most of our m&m`s were faced up. The result then were different. It was a very interesting experiment, and i had understand more about half life.
