carbon-14 (again)
October 2, 2006 at 3:16 pm (bad, stories)
Last year, The Teacher informed her students that carbon-14 was a powder that you sprinkled on an artifact to learn about it. She enlightened this year’s students further on the topic.
The Teacher: Carbon-14 is a machine that tells you how old something is.
(later that same day)
The Teacher: Carbon-14 dating tells you whether something is an artifact, or a fossil. It tells you what it’s made of, where it came from, and who used it.
