Radioactive Decay

1. Place 200 candies in the shoe box, lettered sides up. The candies will stand for atoms of a hypothetical radioactive element.

2. Cover the box and shake it vigorously for three seconds. This is one time interval.

3. Remove the lid and take out any candies (atoms) that have that are now showing lettered sides down. These candies represent the atoms that decayed during the time interval. Count and record in a data table the number of decayed atoms and the number of remaining, not decayed, atoms.

4. Continue repeating steps two and three until all atoms have decayed or you have reached 30 seconds on the data table.

5. Repeat the entire experiment (steps 1–4) a second time and record all data.
