Okay, guys, here’s the deal. The first one to figure out how to work this thing and can tell me the age of three artifacts on the Radioactive Dating Game wins bonus points. Have fun. :)

    Hey Mrs. Kingins I got three of your artifacts right on the radioactive dating game. I got the bone, rock 3 and the wooden cup. Do you want me to post the answers to the three i got or not.

    You give it a number of atoms and it shows you on a graph and on a picture how they change and how old they are???

    I’m not sure I follow you….but.. keep trying.

  • HaleyN says:

    Um I don’t remember talking about that. When did we do it?

    kkingins Reply:

    We didn’t. Something to do on your own. :) We’re gonna start pushing the limits here.

    Ok thank you i got bone as 1,453 years, Rock 3 is 440,000,000 years, and the wooden cup is 1,009 years. I found some others but I’ll leave those for someone else to figure out.

    Good job! That earns you 5 points. Don’t forget them next week on your test. Just write them at the top for me. Can you remember to do that?

  • HaleyN says:

    Well, how am I supposed to know if I’m right? Haha! :)

    kkingins Reply:

    I dunno….maybe you’re just smart like that? ;)

  • HaleyN says:

    OH! I was on the wrong game…

    I’ll be honest with you, some of that stuff on there confuses me, too.

  • Victoria Howe says:

    Yeah i can do that and by the way i also figured out the rest of the game it was actually pretty easy after I figured out the concept.

    It took me a few minutes to figure it out, too. But you’re right. It’s not that hard. I’ve got a bunch of things like that I need to start posting.
