7 th Grade Science By Matt Olson American College of Education Scenario Questions Credits 7 th Science, Matt Olson, 2014

Scenario 7 th Science, Matt Olson, 2014 As a class we are trying to raise as much money as we can to go on a science field trip so you travel around selling elements (found on the Periodic Table) at different places. You start with $500. Along the way you will make money by selling elements, however, you will also spend money on gas and food. Your goal is to: make the most money in the time allowed!

Directions 7 th Science, Matt Olson, 2014 *Select a question and answer it. If you answer correctly you get $100. *Each question, you subtract $50 for expenses. *Challenge yourself to end up with the most money possible!
