I got an A! Wish I could have been this smart in the 8th grade!! LOL Not bad for an old ****!
I got a B, which is probably not that far off what I got when I was in 8th grade.
A couple of weeks ago I took an on-line IQ test
....Exceptionally gifted....just short of genius... I was pretty pleased with myself
My son suggested I might want to try a couple of different ones ( he's done this before 8) ) before my head swelled up too large
On the second test I took, I was still above average but not quite the Mensa candidate that I thought I was
The third test... well lets just say that after three of these IQ tests, things were put in their proper perspective :lol:
I got a B on this test ... and happy for it.
Darn...missed one. Okay, so I don't go around dropping trucks very often. The highway department frowns on that....
Fun test. Amazing how much I remembered. I passed too.
jed
of COURSE i can!!!!!! i was the top student in my 8th grade science class 3 YEARS IN A ROW!!!!!! :shock: ...it was the other classes were i didnt do so hot...
I am the very proud owner of the 57% score on that test yea baby I am doing really great
I got a C...But, I got a B+ in science in the 8th grade.
I got a B+. :shock:
Your GROUNDED!!!! :lol:Quote:

I don't know when it was that I was taught that science. Now, even though it's roughly 45 years later, if I were to take the test I'm sure I'd pass but not with as high of a grade as when the information was fresh in my mind.

I got a B . It has been 47 years since my grade eight class. Not bad retention if I do say myself. :lol:
It's 60 years for me ...so I'm afraid to take it :shock: :shock:
Got a B, and for the same reason I got B's in the 8th grade. Didn't take enough time to reason out some of the answers. I haven't noticed too many falling trucks lately either DianeID, and when I did, they were falling in fps, not mps. Dang metric system anyway :?
Got 100% Mrs. Lambert would be proud and wonder how I cheated then have me take the test again in my underwear in front of my parents. The underwear thing would have been mom?s idea.
Respectfully,
Sean
Thanks Sean,
For putting that IMAGE in my head! :lol:
Congrats on the 100% too!

I'm barely smarter than a 5th grader ~~ how in the world do you expect me to be smarter than an 8th grader. At least the game shows offer some help.
I teach 8th grade science in California and this is not a California Standards Based 8th grade science test. If it was, I would have done better. 8th graders in California have to know all about Motion (graphing, d=rt, velocity, vectors), Forces (newton's laws, f=ma, etc), density (archimedes principle, d=m/v, floating and sinking), Structure of matter (atoms, compounds, crystals and polymers), Astronomy (galaxies, stars, astronomical units and light years, planets), Reactions (law of conservation of matter, endo and exothermic reactions, pH of solutions), Chemistry of living systems (carbon, DNA, lipids, etc), and the Periodic Table (regions of PT, structure of atoms, properties of substances). 8th graders are basically learning what I learned in high school Physics and Chemistry. Even though the subject matter is more difficult, I am glad we are challenging our kids today - they can live up to it.
OMG, WHEN did they teach that in high school? I don't remember any of that! http://bestsmileys.com/doh/2.gif I guess I'll have to take the Lincoln & Mercedes back to the dealers, cuz I ain't smart enough to drive 'em, being just a dumb old plumber working in the trenches.http://bestsmileys.com/working/1.gifQuote:

Ranchwife,
You are saying you teach THAT to the "average" California 8th grader??.
Mark
PS: I graded a "C" . Guessed wrong on a few, like, gaseous planet?????
Joe, You may be ignorant but your NOT OLD!!!! :lol: :lol:Quote:

I'm ashamed, I missed one, and I was a high school science teacher for 35 years. My only excuse is that I've been retired for seven years.
Bob ... :?
Marco~
Yes!! I wish there was some way to post one of my tests and have you all try to take it.
Have a good day!
I paid the smart-<expletive deleted> tax. I said that the final velocity of the item dropped was 0 m/sec because it would have come to rest when it hit. It DID specify a landing in the question. Oh well, I was just sharp enough to cut myself...

I am happy to say that I scored 100%. It is a fairly easy science quiz. All basic stuff.
Semper Fi!

Where Vt=Terminal Velocity

g= gravitational acceleration at the Earths surface

p= density of the fluid the object is falling through
A= the objects cross-sectional area.
For that problem, it comes out to 100m/sec.

I think it's impressive that we have so many people on this board with such varied backgrounds. I have two customers with Phd's who routinely call me to "fix the mechanical stuff" which they just cannot seem to grasp. The Phd in Chemistry was impressed that I could change the flush valve in hit toilet in 15 minutes. He had worked on it all morning, and was totally frustrated. I was impressed that he knew what neutralized the chemical that spilled on my garage floor so I could stop the damage that was occurring.Quote:

Everyone who passed the science test with 100% still has to pay $.55 for a Senior Coffee at McDonalds, just like the one who scored 50%. Life has a way of balancing it all out.

Welcome to the space age fellows! The kids of today are going to be living in the world of Star Trek, literally. Somewhere in our schools right now is the first commander of the first manned mission to Mars. In order for mankind to continue to explore, as is our nature, we have to leave this rock. Doing that in a meaningful manner requires new technologies, that requires science, that comes from more advanced mathematics. :DQuote:

I am not allowed to work on our cars, my motorcycles or anything mechanical. Strange, because I have no trouble with electronics, computers, guns, bows, guitars and tying flies. We all have our strengths and weaknesses.
Semper Fi!
