Watch the series of audio graphics in order to answer the following questions about radiocarbon dating. It may take a minute or two for each video to load…just be patient, it will eventually load! </p><p>I have separated questions based on audio-graphic section for your convenience. </p><p>In Nature</p><p>1. Compare and contrast Carbon-14 with Carbon-12. </p><p>2. How can Carbon-14 and Carbon-12 be used to date an object?</p><p>In the Lab</p><p>3. Briefly describe the process scientists use to measure C-14 and C-12 in a sample. Margin of Error </p><p>4. What is the time limit for radiocarbon dating?</p><p>5. Why does the amount of C-14 and C-12 in the atmosphere matter for radiocarbon dating?</p><p>6. How does burning fossil fuels influence radiocarbon dating? </p>
