Based On the other hand, Kirkland (2021) states that active learning is an
Knowledge instructional approach in which students actively participate in the learning
process, as opposed to sitting quietly and listening. Active learning builds on
constructivist learning theory, which posits that people learn by connecting
new ideas and experiences to what they already know.

answer the given fossils.
One way scientists determine the
age of fossils is by checking the
amount of radioactive carbon-14 in
the fossil. Carbon-14 breaks down
or decays to form nitrogen-14; the
rate of this decay is constant. e.g.
half of the remaining carbon-14
breaks down every 5730 years. Use
this information to compute the age
of the fossils on the next page.
