I got 20/30 but I'm 64 and haven't needed to view the periodic table in over 20 years. I passed the 8th grade in 1972.

[rayrowley]

I am a science teacher and this 'quiz' has really ticked me off so forgive me... or read on if you want to know all (most of) the mistakes it has.
Please also know that, although I do my best to avoid it, I have made errors in making my own tests from time to time. No one is perfect. Mistakes are how we grow (even teachers). I encourage my students to point out mistakes, it is the only way to get better. To that end if you notice something I missed or disagree with me leave a comment and I may amend this list.

9. I guess buried could imply that it is not in the mantle, but even deep in the crust some sections are hot enough to melt yielding igneous rock. Also, metamorphic rock is composed of all the other types so if you are not deep enough then you could find any. This is not so much wrong as non-specific. The answer given is probably the 'most correct' as it relies on the defined formation processes of metamorphic rock. So not wrong, just not specific.
Thanks to Anne Henry for pointing out, "all metamorphic rocks form underground; most sedimentary rocks do too; 85% of igneous rocks." Meaning that any type of rock could form underground, metamorphic is just the only one to be exclusively formed underground. To add on, any of these could be buried 'deep underground' by natural means so it is not where you would find them but rather where they are formed that the question should be asking about.
12. The sun is not going to be a red giant for about years. So in years that answer will be right but for now, no. It is a G2V or yellow dwarf. If it were a red giant we would know because it would have engulfed mercury and probably venus too, and we would be cooking.
13. The telescope was invented by Hans Lippershey roughly 50 years before Galileo Galilei (not sure who Galilei Galileo is).
Edit to the people commenting: The problem is that they reversed his name. First name: Galileo. Last name: Galilei. Galileo Galilei was the historical figure, Galilei Galileo was not.
17. Particle is a poor definition which could include subatomic particles. Not to mention that monoatomic molecules, free ions, and atoms could in some cases all be used to describe the same thing. Basic building blocks is a more generally accepted descriptor but I can see where you are going and it is not exactly wrong...
16 and 19 are the same question as are 15 and 21 and 2 and 11 are very similar
20. Mammals are typically defined as having fur and producing milk but monotremes also have fur and produce milk. Also I think the question means which of these, not which of them. Also also, if milk production is a right answer then fur should be also, unless you are pulling that 'I said in not on' trick, in which case $%*! you. Using grammar to trick kids who know the right answer is evil.
Edit:
Thanks to Downunda88 for pointing out that echidnas are monotremes which are an order of mammal. Therefore A and D are not wrong because monotremes are an exception, rather A and D are both correct as there are no exceptions to either.
22. I don't think that you can generalize that nonmetals 'tend' to be gasses. Certainly the contrapositive is true, metals as a rule are solid at room temperature. So you may rightly say that there are more nonmetallic gasses than metallic gasses at room temperature. But that is not what was stated. The rule as stated looks at the proportion of solid nonmetals to gaseous nonmetals. It is possible that there are more nonmetallic gasses than nonmetallic solids, but it seems that there are sufficient counterexamples to make this rule impractical and misleading. As Emil Wang pointed out in the comments below, point at a rock and you probably just identified a nonmetallic solid. A better rule would be that room temperature gasses tend (are always) nonmetallic.
23. Diatomic molecules are not found on the periodic table. Atoms are. I think you meant where on the periodic table are the atoms which form diatomic molecules found. I'll give you this as I know what you meant and am feeling generous. But really if you are writing the test, make it accurate.
25. Maybe this is just me, but it should be the elements in columns 3-12 called not just 'in 3-1.' It's a science test, precision counts. I guess I can't say this is wrong. Just annoying.
29. How do you define the importance of an alkali metal? I assume this was defined in class as a general industrial importance but depending on context that could have very different answers. So maybe not wrong, just not specific.
Sooo out of 30, you copied 3.
Sooo out of 27, 5 were suspicious and one was annoying but I will give the benefit of the doubt and call your answers correct. But 3 of them were totally wrong. Giving you a total of 24/27=88% or B+. Gets worse if we count the duplicates as wrong, 24/30=80% or B-. As a test creators I think you should aim higher.
​ Thanks to 5e6 Julian HADDAD for pointing out ambiguity in question 4 regarding velocity.
Velocity is speed in a given direction. So more accurately it is (supposed to be) about its velocity towards the earth. Someone could chose to interpret this question as velocity in a horizontal (perpendicular to the path of the plane) rather than vertical direction in which case the velocity would be 0m/s if there was no wind. Since it was dropped from a moving plane the horizontal velocity (parallel to the path of the plane) could also be be the speed of the plane, again discounting air resistance. If you take the velocity as a tangent of the curve at which the ball is falling, then it would be higher than a the vertical velocity of a stationary drop because there is both horizontal and vertical movement. This could be accurately calculated if we were given the speed of the plane.
Wind and air resistance are typically ignored in these types of problems unless otherwise stated, although it would be more accurate to explicitly state that they should be ignored. The average force of gravity near earths surface which is known as standard gravity is 9.80665 m/s/s. Most textbooks round this to either 9.81m/s/s 9.8m/s/s or 10m/s/s. but this could change your answer a bit. Given that this is multiple choice this ambiguity could be avoided by instructing students to use the force of gravity rounded to the nearest whole number or asking which of the following is closest to the velocity of the ball.
5e6 Julian HADDAD also pointed out that the question does not specify the angle the plane is traveling at. If it were traveling up or down this could also effect the final velocity.
So while this is not the worst question on the list, it could be better stated as: Which of the following is closest to the velocity at which the ball is approaching the earth just before hitting, discounting air resistance, wind and assuming the plane is traveling parallel to the ground.
Emil Wang thanks for pointing out my wording on 22. I hope this edit makes my point easier to follow.

I'm just impressed that an 8th grader was able to put this video together and I hope his friends have given him feedback on grammar after watching it

[RaphaElectric]

I'm still in 6th Grade, and yet got 21/30 (70%). Feeling really optimistic for the next grade!

[Thunderbear]

Whoever made this quiz needs to go back to school....

[MightyBiffer]

Such a rudimentary quiz. However; several of the correct answers were actually incorrect.

#12 The sun is a yellow dwarf not a red giant.
#20 Besides just milk production glands, fur is also only found on mammals.
#22 Looking at non-metals at room temperature 11 are gaseous, 10 are solid and 1 is liquid. So there is no state of matter trend to get an answer for the question.
#23 Diatomic molecules are not listed on the periodic table of elements. There are 7 elements that form diatomic molecules with themselves and of these 4 are towards the right side and 4 towards the top (one is both) so the question is invalid and if the correct term of "diatomic element" would have been used then the answer could not have been deduced.
#25 Asked "What are the elements in 3-12 called?" 3-12 what? I would assume they meant groups 3-12 but that is not what was written.
#26 The question references a zigzag line on the periodic table. That line has several common names that a good science test should have used i.e. amphoteric line.
#29 The answer the test was looking for was that Halogens are reactive and inert gases are not. This is incorrect. Halogens are highly reactive and inert gases are rarely reactive. Under the correct situations inert gases will react with other elements.

*when i'm a literal 8th grader watching this vid-*

[Generaleenutts]

The Sun is a yellow dwarf not a re giant.

[sarider]

Had to stop taking the quiz when they asked the question about what type star the sun is. The answer in layman terms is yellow dwarf, more specifically G2V. Hopefully it doesn’t become a red giant as the quiz says it is for a few more billion years, because when it does it will have completely destroyed the Earth.

[jackwells]

I quit reading after question 12, when I realized how badly the questions were written.

[anerioone]

I have found multiple mistakes in the way questions are posed, several with multiple right answers, badly misspelled words in the questions that could affect the answer, and some that are just plain wrong answers!  Who did this video?

[AlexAlexon]

23. Love the "green"-sounding music!

[yuktalahiri]

me being a 9th grader got 27/30 and now doubting myself that did I even studied 8th class properly? BTW the periodic table one is not in the 8th class syllabus if you are a CBSE student and follows ncert. Now I am literally trying to recall everything

[ayushjuyal]

Cell, earthquake, 100m\s, only reflect red light, boiling water, Neptune, metamorphic, meteorite, earthquake, red gaint, galleli, pacific, nerve cells, molecules, amount of matter, nerve cells, milk production gland, to gather light, gases, right, group 1, transition, semi metal, false, true, A wala, shape, Thank you so much for the quiz

[dreamgirl]

I am in 8th grade now. I think I should be ashamed of myself. How can I get only 11 right? I am about to get promoted to 9th without any examination. So I don't need to worry even I don't know what's in my 8th grade

[pietergeerkens]

Re #12: Our sun is (colloquially) a yellow dwarf. A "red giant" would be so large as to enclose Earth's orbit within its surface. Just what were you intending to ask?

Overall: Very nice job. I 29/29 on questions other than #12 (see above), which with a physics degree combined with being well read in the other basic sciences isn't surprising. I did need to pause about 3 times to think carefully on the question. Thank you.

[joepkortekaas]

Q13; None of the above - the telescope was invented by the Dutchman Hans Lippershey in 1608 - Galileo (NOT Gallelio!) improved on it in 1610.

[XiOjala]

Is this test indicative of the standard of science teaching in US schools? If it is then it explains a lot.

[burgir]

Video “science quiz”
Also video “in which ocean is the ‘mariana trench’ located in’”

[MayYourGodGoWithYou]

I got most of the questions - it's over 40 years since I last studied general science/geography [earthquakes, rocks etc came under geography when I was at school] but you say 8th grade, this seems rather advanced for primary school pupils to be learning in places. Certainly the periodic table is more secondary school level in all the countries I or my daughter have been at school in but I guess the US is far more advanced in that respect. At that age we were only just starting with basic general science, not until secondary school we delved into the three different branches of science.
