Introduction to Relative Dating and Absolute Dating video
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This short video introduces the two main ways scientists determine the age of a rock or mineral: relative dating and absolute dating. The first half of the video explores relative dating with a short demonstration to highlight key stratigraphic principles and how they are used. The second half of the video explores the principle of radioactive decay and half-life to explain how it is used in absolute dating. This video is intended for secondary students and older. It contains curriculum links to physics, chemistry, and Earth and environmental science.
