Experiment

AFTER you've done your research and concluded your experiments, it is time to prepare for the science fair. Ask specific questions about preparing for a science fair, including how to set up your display board, how to prepare a presentation, etc. (Please post questions about selecting a project or conducting your experiment by posting in the appropriate "area of science" forum.)

HI Edig,

Can you please elaborate on what aspects of radioactive dating you want to test? A number of factors can influence the validity of the results. The more details you provide, the better we will be able to help you!
All the best,
Terik
