Make your students beyond formulas and into the REAL behavior of radioactive decay! This MEGA BUNDLE combines three different modes of learning — digital simulation, physical modeling, and analytical thinking — to create one of the most comprehensive radioactive decay packages available on TPT.

Students don’t just learn about half-life…
they see it, simulate it, model it, and prove it.

Perfect for IB Physics E.3 Radioactivity, NGSS nuclear science units, and upper-high-school physics programs, this bundle supports multiple teaching styles and learning abilities through inquiry, experimentation, graphing, and self-evaluation.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

(1) Half-Life Simulation Lab Pack

Interactive HTML Radioactive Decay Simulator (no install required)
Student Worksheet with data table, graphing & analysis
Built-in self-marked quiz
Complete Answer Key

(2) “Decay Detective” Hands-On Project

Detailed Instruction Document (student-friendly)
Guiding PowerPoint Presentation for teachers
Student Sample Answers for modeling expectations
Group Reflection & Discussion Sheet

(3) Interactive Digital Exploration

PhET Radioactive Dating Game instructions and tasks
Conceptual and computational questions
Hypothesis → testing → analysis cycle

(4) Real-World Modeling Experiment

M&M’s Half-Life Experiment to simulate random decay
Data recording + graphing sheet
Perfect scaffold for understanding randomness vs theory

KEY FEATURES

🔸 Hands-on + Digital Integration — No more single-method lessons
🔸 Core IB ATL Skills — thinking, research, self-management
🔸 Cross-curricular links — physics, mathematics & data science
🔸 Supports lab-based learning even without radiation sources
🔸 Clear teacher pathway — assignable, assessable, reusable
🔸 Aligned with IB Physics E.3 Radioactivity and NGSS HS-PS1-8

LEARNING OUTCOMES

By completing this bundle, students will:

Master half-life, decay constant (λ), and radioactive decay models
Conduct digital and physical experiments to simulate decay
Analyze datasets using N, N/N₀, ln(N), and exponential fits
Understand why decay is random per atom yet predictable in groups
Construct evidence-based arguments and justified conclusions
Apply scientific reasoning across multiple representations

PERFECT FOR

• IB DP Physics (Topic E.3 Radioactivity)
• Cambridge & AP Physics units on nuclear decay
• NGSS High School Physical Science
• Digital, hybrid, or traditional classrooms
• Assessment preparation, enrichment labs, or capstone projects
