Super Simple Labs: Average Atomic Mass
In this lab, students use pennies prior to 1982 and post 1982 to simulate an isotope. Since the amount of copper changes, the pennies will have different masses. They use these pennies to calculate the average atomic mass of the unknown element "Pennium."Three options: Give each group the same ratio of old vs new pennies. This makes grading easier and allows the class to compare percent error.Each group gets a different combination. You would need a key if you wanted to check that they achiev
