Abstract

When trying to teach a wide variety of experimental analysis techniques on a tight budget, teachers often have difficulty finding hands-on experiments which illustrate exponential decay and provide for the teaching of semi-log plotting skills. The authors have developed the following inexpensive and easy-to-implement experiments to meet that need.
