Day 58: Radioactive Decay Post Lab

Today started with a discussion about the exponential curve that defines the graphical representation of the half-life equation (as shown above).  Following this discussion, students worked on the Half-life Post-Lab with their partner.

Following completion of the post lab which is due tomorrow, everyone should staple all four pages of the lab (the pre-lab, the data, the data analysis, and the post lab) together along with a scoresheet on top to be turned in.  This completed lab is due in class tomorrow.  We will then begin working on the Radium Girls research project. Some students already began reading and taking notes on this project.  We will have more time to complete the notes and begin the project in class tomorrow.
