Can adults pass a middle school test question

Post by ChristianC14 »

So our asked us how the science fair question "Can adults pass a middle school test" and how it relates to the real-world and how its a real-world application. For example: How does an adult not answering a simple science question affect YOU? (he's making us present again after saying our conclusion was bad). We can't find anything so can anyone help us?

Well, what was your conclusion and what was 'bad' about it?
Did you actually ask grown-ups middle school test questions or are you just speculating on what might be the consequences of lack of knowledge?

Ignorance of common knowledge in science, history, geography, language, sociology and other middle school subjects could be serious if it affects someone's decisions. The actions of adults have many consequences and when the actions are based on misinformation, prejudice or ignorance then they can cause serious problems. The better informed a person is, the better decisions they should be able to make.

I don't know if this really answers your question, so post again if you need more help.
