Skill 3 of 3 · Designing and Interpreting Science ExperimentsClose Science theories and processes
Understand and apply scientific theories and the processes used to investigate the natural world.
- Scientific processes start with a question, a hypothesis, and collected data.
- Carbon-14 decays at a known rate, so less carbon-14 in a sample means the sample is older.
Question 1 of 4
Carbon-14 decays at a known rate while carbon-12 remains. The age of a sample is inversely related to the amount of carbon-14 present.
A sample with very little carbon-14 compared with carbon-12 is most likely:
