Forensic Archaeology lab

The archaeology lab started with getting a piece of paper which had two sides. On one side of the paper it had color, and on the other it was plain white. The first step in the lab was to cut the piece of paper into 567 squares. Each of these squares would have a white side and a colored side. after we had all of the squares cut out we put them into a cup and dumped them out. we divided the squares into the ones that had the colored side face up and the white side face up.the atoms that were colored side up represented the atoms that had decayed and were taken out from the rest of the pieces. we repeated the process of dumping and removing the decayed squares for 6 times. this process represents half life of a substance as it decays.
