    To assess if graduates are "smarter than a 5th grader," you can ask questions that cover a range of topics typically learned in elementary school. Here are some sample questions from various subjects:
    Math
    1. **Simple Arithmetic**: What is 7 x 8?
    2. **Fractions**: What is 1/2 + 1/4?
    3. **Basic Geometry**: How many sides does a hexagon have?
    ### Science
    1. **Earth Science**: What is the process by which plants make their own food using sunlight called?
    2. **Physical Science**: What is the chemical symbol for water?
    3. **Biology**: How many planets are in our solar system?
    ### History
    1. **U.S. History**: Who was the first President of the United States?
    2. **World History**: In which year did Christopher Columbus first arrive in the Americas?
    3. **Civics**: What are the three branches of the United States government?

    • @tameemhassan3246

      Geography
      1. **World Geography**: What is the capital of France?
      2. **U.S. Geography**: Which state is known as the "Sunshine State"?
      3. **Continents**: Which continent is the largest in terms of land area?
      ### English Language Arts
      1. **Grammar**: What is the past tense of the verb "run"?
      2. **Spelling**: How do you spell "congratulations"?
      3. **Reading Comprehension**: What is the main idea of a story?
      ### General Knowledge
      1. **Days of the Week**: What day comes after Tuesday?
      2. **Months of the Year**: How many days are there in February during a leap year?
      3. **Time**: How many minutes are in an hour?
      By asking these questions, you can gauge whether graduates remember fundamental concepts typically taught in elementary school.

  • @tameemhassan3246
    @tameemhassan3246 4 місяці тому +1

    Being in space without a suit would have several immediate and severe consequences due to the extreme environment. Here's a detailed breakdown of what would happen:
    1. **Lack of Air**:
    - **Asphyxiation**: Without a spacesuit, you would not have access to oxygen. You would lose consciousness within 15 seconds due to hypoxia (lack of oxygen). Death would follow within a couple of minutes if no oxygen is provided.
    2. **Exposure to Vacuum**:
    - **Boiling of Body Fluids**: In the vacuum of space, the lack of atmospheric pressure would cause the boiling point of your bodily fluids to drop dramatically. This would result in ebullism, where bodily fluids (like saliva, blood, and other bodily fluids) would start to boil at body temperature.
    - **Expansion of Body**: Your body would swell up to about twice its normal size due to the boiling fluids and expanding gases. However, your skin and tissue would prevent your body from exploding.
    3. **Temperature Extremes**:
    - **Thermal Shock**: Space has extreme temperatures, but you wouldn't instantly freeze or burn. The lack of atmosphere means heat transfer happens primarily through radiation, which is slower. If exposed to direct sunlight, you could get severe burns, and in the shadow, you would lose heat rapidly.
    4. **Radiation Exposure

    • @tameemhassan3246
      @tameemhassan3246 4 місяці тому +1

      4. **Radiation Exposure**:
      - **Cosmic Rays and Solar Radiation**: Without the protection of a suit or the Earth's atmosphere, you would be exposed to high levels of cosmic rays and solar radiation, which could damage cells and increase the risk of cancer.
      5. **Decompression Sickness**:
      - **"The Bends"**: Similar to what divers experience when ascending too quickly, the sudden decompression would cause nitrogen dissolved in your blood to form bubbles, leading to decompression sickness.
      6. **Damage to Eyes and Ears**:
      - **Blood and Bodily Fluids Boiling**: The boiling fluids could cause damage to your eyes and other exposed tissues.
      - **Ruptured Eardrums**: The pressure difference could cause your eardrums to rupture.
      7. **Loss of Consciousness**:
      - **Rapid Unconsciousness**: Within 15 seconds, you would lose consciousness due to the lack of oxygen and the rapid onset of hypoxia.
      In summary, without a spacesuit, you would quickly lose consciousness from lack of oxygen and experience severe bodily trauma from the vacuum, temperature extremes, and radiation. Death would follow within a couple of minutes due to asphyxiation and the cumulative effects of the vacuum.
