The goal of this exercise is to compute the age of a meteorite based on its uranium content. It is part of a collection of short lecture-tutorial (or homework) activities, designed to be both quantitative and accessible to the introductory astronomy student. Each of which involves interpreting some real data, solving a problem using ratios and proportionalities, and making a conclusion based on the calculation.
