The experiment was to;
Drop pins into a box. Pick out the ones upside down and count them. These are the ones that underwent decay.
Get the ones that weren't upside down and throw them in the box again, then repeat the process until there are not pins left. (This seems to be very similar how half life works, but I just need help in answering these questions
)
1) 3 aspects that make this experiment accurate in showing the radioactive decay of U-235
2) Identify two improvements to this process
3) Draw a table so that the results are valid and reliable.
>Valid and Reliable are important terms to this, but I'm not sure how, either than just saying it should be repeated
4) Graph your average results
>Does this mean I should repeat the experiment, drawing various tables and average them out?
