All: Complete your lab packet. For extra credit:
You can create the graph from the back page of the lab digitally (on excel, logger pro, etc). Once you've plotted all your points, use the curve fit option 'natural exponent'. You may need to mess around with some of the line fitting options to get the best fit. Once you've done that, trace the curve and mark the point that best expresses the half-life of our sugar cubes. A box should pop up that represents all the info from that data point - make sure that's included on your graph. Print the graph and the data set and attach it to your lab.

Section 5: You should also complete the back page of the nuclear decay packet that we started in class today.
