The graph would require to form a straight line in relation to the distance and LUX reading, to verify the inverse square law. The straight line would occur as the intensity of the light would gradually decrease, the further away it is analysed from the source. Conversely, if the distance squared was graphed alongside the light intensity, an ‘x’ would be created, as the distance squared increases the further away it gets. - Does the graph support your hypothesis? Why or why not? (2 marks)…

Tests like FCAT do not allow students to fully immerse themselves in the learning process, thus making standardized testing more difficult for students who do not necessarily fit the mold of the type-A student good at memorizing a few strategies…
this study is the rationale for using out-of-level testing. There are three main themes to this sections. The first is, overly difficult tests promote increased guessing and student frustration, which reduced the accuracy of the test results. The basic question is whether students who score low on grade level tests would score higher on lower level of the same test.
