Post Test

ITS OVER!!!! (almost)!

The 83 questions New York State Intermediate Science Exam for eighth graders is over. Having the luxury of grading some of your performance exams led me to one conclusion: That test "ain't got nothing" on you (note the parentheses for improper grammar)! A few even recieved 43's out of 45's! Now that we have made it through that barrier, it is time for the last and great adventure of eighth grade science.... your exit projects! Now you get to do the science for yourself. YOU get to set up an experiment. YOU get to set up the results, and YOU get to present it to your classmates. No more Mr. Smith getting materials for you or saying what material to cover. Any science topic you can test without hurting someone or raising moral red flags is fair game. Tomorrow I will show a sample project.


PS- Alfonso Martinez received the lowest grade in the history of state exams. In fact, because he didn't put his name on his performance exam, he got a negative score! Congratulations.
