Fcat: Get a Half Life!: Teacher Notes
Students use M&M's and a graphing calculator to collect and graph data. This activity helps them to understand exponential functions and the concept of half-life.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Half Life Lab
This activity explains how students use a CBL2 and TI-83 or TI-84 calculator to collect and calculate the half-life of a barium isotope. Students can use an isogenerator to milk out a meta stable isotope of Barium with a short half-life....
