Half Life Simulation Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in Africa
Product Code : DA-AAN-11396
Quick Answer: The Half Life Simulation is a set of plastic cubes used to investigate and demonstrate half-life. Each cube has one black face, with all the other faces yellow.
Last updated: October 2026
Key Features
- Plastic cubes with one black face and yellow remaining faces
- Cubes are thrown or scattered like dice
- A black face uppermost represents a nucleus that has decayed
- Decayed cubes are removed and the rest thrown again
- Results give a decay curve that can be plotted
About This Product
Pupils throw the cubes like dice, and any that land black face up stand for radioactive nuclei that have decayed and are taken out. The remaining cubes are thrown again and the process is repeated. Recording how many cubes are removed at each throw gives data from which a decay curve can be plotted.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does a black face represent in the Half Life Simulation?
A cube landing with its black face uppermost represents a radioactive nucleus that has decayed, so it is removed before the next throw.
Q2. How is a decay curve produced?
The removed cubes represent radioactive decay. Throwing the remaining cubes repeatedly and recording the results gives figures from which a decay curve can be plotted.
