Radioactive Decay Game
This interactive game teaches radioactive decay concepts by modeling half-life with dice rolls and coin flips. Predict decay patterns, test your understanding, and watch how random events create predictable half-life behavior.

Radioactive Decay Concepts
The time required for half of the radioactive nuclei in a sample to decay. This is a constant for each radioactive isotope.
Each nucleus has an equal probability of decaying in any given time period. We model this with dice rolls or coin flips.
The number of remaining nuclei decreases exponentially over time, creating the characteristic decay curve.
This game helps you predict and understand how random individual events lead to predictable population-level behavior.
