Mr. Anderson explains how scientists are able to date ancient objects using radiocarbon dating. He describes carbon 14, what it is, and how it can be used to date an object. This lecture provides a very clear explanation of a slightly complex concept. Math, chemistry, and science work together to determine the age of ancient remains! Give your high schoolers a word problem involving radiocarbon dating to challenge their algebraic reasoning.
