Can You Pass Eighth Grade Science? 2
I’m kicking myself. Only a B. And I used to devour the “All About” books. I can’t any information about them on the web (not that it isn’t there, but there’s too much other stuff with “all about” in it; they were a series of books about science targeted to 10-14 year olds back in the dim dark ages; each one tackled a single broad subject. The one on geology, for example, was called, I think, All about the Earth.
What kept me from pursuing a career in science was higher math. When you start proving that 1 = 0, you pretty much have lost me. I’ve got one daughter who has the math gene, and I’ll guarantee she didn’t get it from me.

My command of the topic is a little rusty. I think I’ll brush up by visiting one of those creation science museums they have now before I take the quiz.

er–It won’t help you. But you might review the coefficient of acceleration.
