Let’s step back into a time when kids were learning science even before we landed on the Moon! With this quiz, you’ll test yourself on the same questions that middle schoolers were asked in the 1960s. Back then, kids answered these questions without the convenience of calculators and readily available information on the internet. If you make more than 3 mistakes, it may be time to hit the books & brush up on your school knowledge.

Challenge yourself with this quiz that’s straight out of the ‘60s!

    Hi, I’m a writer here at Bored Panda. When I’m not writing, you can find me reading books, binge-watching TV shows, making pottery and jewelry, or cooking. I love good food and good company. I also love my dog and cat who bring me so much joy every day.

    I don't like question 4. Persephone is the greek goddess of spring. May was named after Maia, yes - but she is the greek goddess of the fields. The Roman goddess Maia, however, *is* a goddess of spring. I think that's right, anyway!

    I could remember Demeter, Persephone's mother, but not Maia.

    Embarrassing for me too. I'll admit to a few wild guesses, but I should have done better than 13/18... 😬 😉
