Title Isotopes and Stability PhET Lab
Description I cobbled this together for a freshman physical science course. Students should emphasize the addition of neutrons and protons on atomic mass and the creation of different isotopes. Chemistry students should also observe the effect of a higher nuetron-proton ratio. If you like this lab, please let me know or nominate it for a star. Thanks for looking.
