Science Beliefs Quiz

Gentle Readers,

As many of you know, I have spent several years researching misconceptions in earth science. I one day hope to actually put this information into dissertation form, but I digress. The other day I was reading an article about the Science Beliefs Quiz available online. I had to check it out! The Science Beliefs Quiz is a 44 question, true-false quiz over a variety of science topics from biology to earth science. If you have about 45 minutes to spend I strongly suggest visiting the Science Beliefs Quiz. Use it to evaluate your understandings and beliefs about various topics. Use it to find areas you need to improve in. Use it to find areas that interest or excite you. But please don't use it to beat yourself up.

I'd love to hear how you do on the Science Beliefs Quiz. So drop me a line via the comments and share! Yes, you can remain anonymous!

Happy testing! And remember Science Rules!

Chutes & Ladders

Oh, what fun! I don’t recall having this game as a child, but I remember playing “Go to the Head of the Class” which was quite similar. Spin the spinner and move your little person from one to one hundred. If you land on a ladder, climb up! If you land on a chute, slide down!

Britain has Snakes and Ladders which is pretty much the same. Perhaps Americans thought the snakes were too scary! Ha! Check the BBC Schools website for a Shockwave version of this game. Orion and I have stopped using the spinner with this game. We use several of the modifications that I’ve mentioned under Sorry!
