TEST VERSION A:
- This is not a “definition-style” test! This test focuses on the essential understandings of middle school life science topics. The questions are “big picture” in nature and mimic the way NGSS-based standardized tests generally ask about these topics. The questions include some simple diagrams and charts to analyze and require some thinking.
- 40 questions
- Less copies and easy to correct – save time with our test packet format! This version of the test has a test question packet (4 pages front/back) and a separate answer sheet (1 page). You only need to make one class set of copies of the test question packet because it can be reused class-to-class. Students ONLY write on their provided answer sheet.
TEST VERSION B:
- This is essentially a definitions and matching test.
- 33 questions
- Designed to be streamlined and easy to correct!
Teacher Notes:
