Half-Life Lab
Place 100 pennies in a large, flat, covered container.
Shake the pennies several times, open the cover, and remove either the heads or tails.
Record the number of pennies removed and those remaining.
Repeat the process until no pennies are left in the tray.
If heads were removed the first time, then heads must be removed every time.
Graph the results, plotting pennies remaining in the container on the x-axis, and the number of times the container was shaken on the y-axis.
Relate the results to the half-life of a radioactive element.
