Yes, the group addressed different characteristics of a radioisotope that allows radioactive dating to occur. The are many arguments defending this nuclear technology. Some of them are the importance of determining the age of fossils of prehistoric dinosaurs and isotopes. Scientists are able to know this by obtaining radioactive decay information of the substance. Some arguments prosecuting this technology are: that it is all estimation and it leaves room for human error. Since there was a lack of information given by the prosecution, I am going to side with the defense.
This group addressed the unique nature of a radioisotope that allows this particular technology, nuclear dating, to occur. Some of the arguments defending this technology are: being able to determine the age of a fossil. The fossil could be from a dinosaur or some type of isotopic element. Scientists know this because of radioactive decay. There were not many arguments from the prosecution. However, she said that human error could occur and all radioactive dating is, is estimation. I did not completely understand the point the prosecution was trying to make so, therefore, I am going to side with the defense. 019045
The group did address the characteristics found in a radioisotope that allow radioactive dating to exist. Radioactive dating has allowed scientists to discover how long a fossil or sample has been around. It has helped scientists to determine the ages of fossils dating back to prehistoric times and the dinosaurs. The most modern technology, such as mass spectrometers, have been applied to determine the accurancy of the data found. No human error can exist because radioactive decay is not affected by outside sources. Despite the agruments for radioactive dating, it is based on mathematical theory and not solely on fact. Human error is often contained in the dating estimates. Also, because a sample can contain pieces of many elements, it is difficult to estimate exactly how old a sample is. Based on the evidence shown, I support radioactive dating because there is no evidence against the pratice of radioactive dating except the possibility of human error 026610
Yes, i believe this group adressed the unique charactersitics of radioactive dating. Some of the defending arguements deal with determining prehistoric dates and identifying fossils. Some prosecuting arguements are that radioactive dating is not as accurate as one thinks, because it contains human error. In this case, i would side with the defense. Shown by the evidence, radioactive dating is important in determining the earths long history before humans. -643470

This group discuused how different radioactive isotopes have half lives or decay rates that can help determine the age of something. The pros pf this tecnology is it help date things from prehistoric ages, including the bones from dinosous. The cons of this tecnology is that it is all estimation and not exact sciences. Due to the lack of solid evidence as to why the tecnology should not be used I am siding with nuclear dating. 244860
Yes, this group did present the characteristics of radioisotopes that make radioactive dating possible. The defending arguments for nuclear technology include the ability to name the age of a fossil by recieveing radioactive decay information. The one argument prosecuting the technology was that due to much estimation, there is a lot of room for human error. I agree with the defense since their arguments overcame the prosecutions. 734970
This group did a good job addressing the unique nature of a radioisotope that allow for this particular technology to exist. The arguments made that defended this technology were that it has helped scientists figure out the age of prehistoric fossils from a dinosaur or an isotopic element. This can be done by using the radioactive decay properties of the substance. The argument against this technology was that it is just an estimation of how old the substance is. I am going to side with the defense since the only con of this technology seems to be that it might not be completely accurate. 044880
This group definetly accurately addresses the characteristics of the the radioisotope resulting in radioactive dating to occur. On the positive side this technology can help figure out the age of fossils. There was much less information for the negative aspects of this technology. I would definetly have to side with the defense due to this lack of eveidence.
This group discussed the ways that the nature of radioisotopes allows nuclear dating to be used by scientists. The defense was that it helps us determine how old fossils are. Also, it is accurate because decay is not affected by outside factors like temperature. The prosecution stated that dating is inaccurate because it is full of human error, since dating is only an estimate and is entirely based on a theoretical concept. The defense made more sense because it showed that nuclear dating can be highly beneficial to scientists in determining and estimating ages of various materials of scientific importance which may lead to new developments and knowledge. 398715
The group addresses radioisotopes as a characteristic that will help with radioactive decay. The defendant explains that this nuclear technology will help in dating fossils, as well as radioactive decay. The prosecutor seems to meander around details and uses a crutch of a few facts, showing that the defendant is using mostly theory. I would have to agree with the defendant based on evidence. 064337
Yes, this group the unique nature of radioisotope to allow for nuclear dating: half lives. The pros for this technology are that it allows for the accurate dating of artifacts that are millions of years old, including fossils. This is done by determining the amount of an isotope left, then comparing it with the isotopes half life to figure out the age. Another pro mentioned, that this type of dating was the most accurate form of dating, due to the fact that half lives can not be altered by any outside factor. The only con to this technology is the risk for human error. Due to this, the pros far out way the cons, so this technology should be allowed 821767
Yes, the group addressed the unique nature of a radioisotope that allows this particular technology to exist. They explained the fact that each radioactive isotope has a different half life which affects the rate at which it decays. This is how one is able to tell how old something is. The defense stated that it is important for us to be able to age fossils of not only isotopes but dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures. This gives us a better sense of time and the world around us. The prosecution stated that radioactive dating can be inaccurate due to human error. However, the defense said that human error is virtually eliminated with new technology. In the end I did not feel like there was a strong prosecution, therefore I side with the defense.
This group analyzed the different characteristics of a radioisotope which allows humans to do radioactive dating. The defense presented was very strong, with the usefullness spelled out, that scientists can use it to find out how old a substance id and so figure out the history of that substance. It waas a weak prosecution, with the only arguments being that human error could interfere with the dating. I will have to go with the side defending radioactive dating, because of the much better evidence provided. 134280

The prosecution said that it was all just estimates and it wasn't an exact science. I would side with the prosecution. -472840
I think that this group did present all the characteristics of radio isotopes that sallow for the process of radioactive dating. The defendant talks about how receiving information from radioactive decay allows for nuclear technology allows for the possibility to determine the age a fossil. On the other hand, the prosecutor says that technology because of the large amount of human error. I have to agree with the defensive side because their arguments allow for many historic discoveries.
Yes, the group definitely addressed different characteristics of the radioisotope that allows this particular technology to occur. Nuclear dating's pros include determining the age of some fossils for fossil fuels/isotopes including dinosaurs etc. Scientists are able to know and obtain radioactive decay information to with the help of dating. Some cons of Nuclear Dating include the fact that nuclear dating has a lot of estimation involved which means there is room for human error. I would have to side with the defense because the arguments of the prosecution were unclear.
Group 4 did a good job of addressing the nature of a radioisotope that allows the process of Nuclear Dating to exist. In defense of Nuclear Dating, Group 4 explained how dating allows scientists to learn the age of fossils that are millions of years old, which is remarkable. One of the only limitations of Dating that the group mention was its possibility to be inacurate due to human error. Since everything has human error, and new technology everyday allows us to become more accurate in basically everything we do, I'd have to side with the defense. Nuclear Dating is useful. 140860
