Could you pass 8th grade science??

I got a C...But, I got a B+ in science in the 8th grade.

Your GROUNDED!!!!

I passed! But that's not important today like it was in my day. What's important is how you feel about yourself, which is enough to take you to the next grade. IMO, that's "No Slackers Left Behind" mentality, and won't help you get a job later in life.

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.

It's 60 years for me ...so I'm afraid to take it

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.

Thanks Sean,
For putting that IMAGE in my head!
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.
