$59.64 Get 15 middle school Earth and space science tests for JUST $1 EACH – one for every unit of the year!
⭐ YOUR WORK IS DONE! Never write a test question again! This an entire year of summative assessments designed for 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade NGSS-aligned Earth and space (ESS) science classes.
⭐ Get kids THINKING! The tests in this collection are more than “definition style” exams! Each includes some application of knowledge (at the middle school level) of each topic and contains simple diagrams, charts, or graphs to analyze. In this way, questions mimic NGSS-based standardized tests.
⭐ Save time and paper with my test format! These tests use a reusable question packet plus separate answer sheets. You’ll make fewer copies since the question packets can be used across different classes, and grading is faster since all answers are on one page.
