Understanding Half–Life : Simulating the process of a radioactive material decaying according to the concept of a half-life. part of MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
In this activity, students will learn the concept of half-life of a radioactive material. Students will create and be able to recognize a graph representing the half-life of an imaginary radioactive element.

Radioactive Dating: Looking at Half-Lives Using M&Ms part of MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
This is an activity that students will use M&Ms to gain a better understanding of radioactive dating and half-lives.

Proton Neutron Rotation and Nuclear Stability part of MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
In this physics activity, students will review and investigate stability of the nucleus of various elements. They will then determine factors that affect the stability of the nucleus.
