About this Simulation

This interactive simulation uses a dice rolling model to demonstrate nuclear decay and radioactive processes. Students roll virtual dice to represent nuclei, removing those showing specific values to model decay events. By repeating trials, learners visualize how populations decrease exponentially and explore the probabilistic nature of nuclear decay.

Learning objectives: Understand the relationship between probability and radioactive decay | Observe exponential decay patterns through repeated sampling | Connect abstract decay concepts to tangible, visual models
