- The Half-life of Pennies Lab Can you use pennies to demonstrate "decay? Imagine existing more than 5,000 years and still having more than 5,000 to go! That is exactly what the unstable element carbon-14 does. Carbon-14 is a special unstable element used in the absolute dating of material that was once alive, such as fossil bones. Every 5,730 years, half of the carbon-14 in a fossil specimen decays or breaks down into a more stable element. In the following lab you will see how pennies can show the same kind of "decay." Materials • 100 pennies • large container with a cover Procedure a. Place 100 pennies in a large, covered container. Shake the container several times and remove the cover. Carefully empty the container on a flat surface, making sure the pennies don't roll away. b. Remove all the coins that have the "head" side of the coin turned upward.
