  1. Geological Dating Part II Absolute

  2. Once Living thingsInterpret EvidenceDirect Evidence of past Fossils

  3. Earth’s history is separated into divisions according to the fossil record: Eons Eras Periods Epochs

  4. Absolute Age Dating This method enables scientists to determine the actual age of a rock Radioactive isotopes are found in….

  5. Comparing Relative to Absolute (Numerical)

  6. Radiometric Dating- Rocks • Define • Ratio • Rate The original radioactive element is called the parent and the new element is called the daughter

  7. Rate of decay of a radioactive element in a rock Percent of parent atoms at the 2nd half life is?

  8. Radioactive elements with their specific half-life • The daughter element of U-238 is? • Time for ½ of the U-238 atoms to decay?

  9. Half-Life • At the end of 1 half-life what is the relationship of daughter to parent material? • If 2 rocks were found one containing 2 g of A and the other 4 g of A which rock is older? • What percent of the sample is Daughter B at 4 Half-Lives?

  10. Clocks in Rocks • What is the percent of atoms of the parent and daughter element at a half-life of…? 1, 2 & 5 • How can a scientist determine the actual age with this information? • Now you are ready to click on: http://www.sciencecourseware.org/VirtualDating/files/1.0_ClocksInRocks.html

  11. Coral, Varves, & Tree Growth

  12. Radiocarbon Dating - Organisms • Carbon C-14 is changed into Nitrogen N-14 during decay of living organisms. • Now try this: http://www.sciencecourseware.org/VirtualDating/files/RC0/RC_0.html
