| Title | Intrinsic Randomness |
| Simulations | Peluruhan Alfa |
| Keywords | radioactivity, intrinsic randomness, nuclear |
| Description | This lesson has the students explore the intrinsic randomness of alpha decay by using dice and the simulation of alpha decay. The focus is on the predictable behaviour of large numbers of particles and the unpredictable nature of single particles. |
