In the short research brief‚ “How Standardized Tests Shape – and Limit – Student Learning‚” standardized testing has been shown to have three fundamental effects which includes: changing the nature of teaching‚ narrowing the curriculum‚ and limiting student learning. Standardized tests change the nature of teaching because

then the speed of sound will also increase because faster-moving particles transfer energy quickly. The data collected supports the hypothesis. Therefore‚ increased air temperature affects the speed of sound because the molecules move faster‚ which causes the energy to be transferred quickly‚ which then increases the speed of sound. In the data‚ when the temperature is increased by 10°C‚ the speed of sound increases by 6 m/s. For example‚ the speed of sound at 0°C is 331 m/s and the speed of sound

Speed of the Human Neural Impulse Helmholtz (1821-1894) was a German scientist. In 1850‚ he measured the neural impulse in frogs. By strapping down the frogs and putting electrical voltage into their legs‚ Helmholtz measured the time it took for the frogs’ leg to twitch. Helmholtz used a galvanometer to measure the neural impulse. He found that the neural impulse in frogs was 83-90 ft/s. Afterwards‚ Helmholtz went on to test the neural impulse in humans. He put a low grade electrical voltage to humans’
