Interesting! So if a freshmen takes bio they’ll take the test? Is passing the test a graduation requirement?

Is there generally an agreed upon course sequence that aligns with the test content?

“Another demonstration is to direct the air flow from, e.g., a vacuum cleaner operating in reverse, tangentially past a round cylinder…the cylinder does not move directly into the flow as a misapplication of the Bernoulli effect would predict, but at a diagonal.”

Next time I’d change the variables to be # of sanding strokes vs μ and have each group use a different grit. Or attach the grit to the bottom of the wood itself. However part of what I wanted them to do is physically sand wood.
I was pressed for time so didn’t have them do multiple trials

That’s a brilliant idea! Will try that next time. Wish they just had a hitch with a hole though.

I forget this isn’t an American specific policy, just reeks of that particular form of nonsense.

lol took me way too long to figure out who you were referring to. Doesn’t even have to be a national decision, can just do state by state.
