Question
https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/legacy/radioactive-dating-game
Explore Radioactive Dating Game . Try all the tabs to figure out why there is more than one element used
to estimate how old things might be.
Pretend you are a scientist and have a tool like the one on Dating Game tab:
a. How do you decide which to use: Carbon-14 or Uranium-238?
b. How does the percentage (88.2%) help you estimate the age?
c. If you can’t get a reading on one object like the fish fossil, what else can you try?
Determine the approximate age of the fish fossil and explain what you did to estimate the fossil
age.
