This Isotopes and Atomic Mass interactive also includes:
Some isotopes are unstable, or radioactive, meaning they will decay over time and turn into another isotope or stable element. In the interactive simulation, participants manipulate elements to create isotopes and gather information. Stability, abundance in nature, percent composition, and average atomic mass are some of the facts scholars can gather from different isotopes.
