This guide provides clear instructions on filling out the BLM - Radioisotopes Investigation form effectively. By following these steps, users can accurately record their findings and understand the radioactive decay process.

Follow the steps to complete the BLM - Radioisotopes Investigation form.

1. Press the ‘Get Form’ button to download the form and open it in your preferred online document editor.
2. Begin by entering your name, date, and class in the designated fields at the top of the form. Ensure that you fill in this information clearly to maintain proper documentation.
3. For Trial 1, place all 100 coins/chips in a suitable container with the faces up, signifying their radioactive state. Shake the container 10 times to simulate a decay event.
4. After shaking, open the container and count the coins/chips that are now facing down. Record this number in the 'number stable after shaking' column. This indicates the isotopes that have decayed.
5. Calculate how many coins/chips remain radioactive by subtracting the number stable from the total of 100. Enter this number in the 'number radioactive after shaking' column, which will inform your next round.
6. Repeat the trial process until all coins/chips are removed from the container. This will involve repeating the shaking and recording steps for up to 12 decay events.
7. For Trial 2, follow the same steps as Trial 1. This will allow for comparison of results and understanding of decay patterns.
8. Once trials are complete, calculate the average number of radioactive coins after shaking for the two trials, and record this on the appropriate chart on page 2.
9. Using GRAPH, plot the average number of radioactive coins after shaking for each decay event and draw a line of best fit. Ensure to start at Event 0.
10. Reflect on the questions provided in the form. Answer them in detail to enhance your comprehension of the experiment's outcomes, including any observed patterns.
11. Finally, review your completed form. You can save changes, download, print, or share it to ensure you have thoroughly documented your investigation.
