Back to IGCSE PHYSICS > RADIOACTIVITY AND PARTICLES > RADIOACTIVITY =MODEL OF RADIOACTIVE DECAY USING COINS= //**Coins (representing radioactive nuclei)**// //**Coins falling Heads (represent a radioactive nucleus which decays)**//
 * APPARATUS:**
 * 1) Create a spreadsheet: Radioactive decay model.xls
 * 2) Using the coins provided, count them all and write down the number.
 * 3) Shake them up and remove the Heads. Count the total again.
 * 4) Continue until the final coin is removed (number remaining is zero).
 * 5) Plot a graph of Number remaining against Throws.
