ACT
This task provides a real-world context for examining the power of exponential growth and decay. Students experiment, at the macro level, using scotch tape to pull a chip of graphite apart into two pieces. They are asked to find about how many times they would have to split a 1 mm thick sample of graphite in half in order to get a single layer of graphene? Aligns with F-LE.A.4.
