Today, you will be doing the M & M half-life lab.You will be given 300 M&Ms, a ziploc bag,
and a plate. Once you are ready, pour 300 M&Ms into the ziploc bag and seal it. Next,
you will shake the bag to ensure random assortment. Then you will carefully pour all the M&Ms
onto the plate. You should notice that about half of the M&Ms on your plate are flipped
opposite the side showing the M, while the other half do not show the M. This is an essential
element for the lab. The elements with the blank face represent atoms that have decayed
into other elements.
