Apparatus for Studying the Value of the Half-Decay Period During Radioactive Decay
Product Code : SCL-PLE-12395
The JaincoLab half-life simulation set (SKU SCL-PLE-12395) lets students model radioactive decay without any radioactive source. It consists of 500 small plastic cubes and a plastic cup or jar. The cubes are shaken and thrown, those that land in a chosen way are removed as "decayed", and the remaining number is counted after each throw, giving a decay curve from which the half-life is read. It suits senior-secondary modern physics lessons.
Specifications
The product data lists 500 small plastic cubes and a plastic cup or jar. Cube size and colour are not stated and are confirmed on the quotation.

Applications of the half-life simulation set
Each throw removes a similar fraction of the cubes, which is exactly how a radioactive sample behaves. The set is used for:
- Modelling the random nature of radioactive decay
- Plotting a decay curve and reading off the half-life
- Discussing probability and large-number statistics
- Modern physics lessons in senior-secondary school

Frequently asked questions
What is in the set?
500 small plastic cubes and a plastic cup or jar.
Does it use any radioactive material?
No. The cubes model decay statistically, so no radioactive source is needed.
How is half-life found?
By counting the cubes left after each throw, plotting the counts and reading the time (number of throws) for the number to halve.
