Perf Task 41 Info: • Need to get supplies: plate, cup of M&M’s and and a graphing calculator. • Before completing step 1 – count the M&M’s in your cup – this will be the number of non-decayed M&M’s when x=0. • You will then continue pouring and counting M&M’s until you get down to 1 or 0. • You AND your partner will write your own unique report, the only thing that will be the same is your data (each group will have different data, but you and your partner will have the same).
Edits/Additions • For Step 3 a is really C • For Step 4 the error model is listed below:

What is Half Life? • Half Life is the time required for a quantity to be reduced to half its original starting value measured at the beginning of a time period. • Example: If the half life of a decaying material is 24 hours, then if the material was 100 mg at the beginning of the 24 hour period, after t=24 hrs, the left over material would weigh 50mg – or exactly half of its starting weight at the beginning of the time period.
Example: Radioactive Decay • A scientist wants to create a model for the decay of Polonium with a half life of 140 days. If the starting value of the Polonium is 210 mg. Write the model.
