50 Multiple Choice Question Earth Science FINAL EXAM – mimics standardized tests! Also can be used as a pre-assessment.
NGSS Standards Covered: MS-ESS1-1, MS-ESS1-2, MS-ESS1-3, MS-ESS1-4, MS-ESS2-1, MS-ESS2-2, MS-ESS2-3, MS-ESS2-4, MS-ESS2-5
This final and cumulative test assesses the essential understandings of middle school NGSS Earth and space science topics. Some questions include simple diagrams to analyze and mimic the way NGSS-based standardized tests generally ask about these topics. There are 50 questions.
Less copies and easy to correct – save time with our test packet format! This version of the test is designed to have a test question packet (3 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.
