This activity uses Skittles to demonstrate radioactive decay. The rate of decay depends on the isotope of the element and is referred to as the half-life. Radioactive decay is a random process. To understand the concept of a half-life, we're going to pretend Skittles are radioactive atoms. Skittles that land with the S upwards are […] The post Skittles Half Life Demonstration appeared first on Science Experiments for Kids.
