Dating- Radioactive Style Lab

This lab was used to demonstrate how half life works. In the lab there were 567 pieces of paper that were double sided, one side color and one side white. In order to represent half life my partner and I shook up the paper pieces and dumped them out separating the ones that landed on the color side form the ones that did not. We then counted the colored pieces which represented the amount that decayed and repeated the process.
