I think these assigments are a really good source for kids to learn about if they are struggling with their science work.

I thought it was pretty easy. I am a star scout and was looking for a test to help with my board of review. Even thought I thought it was easy, I think that this will help a lot of younger scouts with ranking up. Thanks for the good test.
