Topics Covered: This MIDDLE SCHOOL test is designed to assess the essential understandings of NGSS standards MS-PS2-3 and MS-PS2-5, not more advanced details. Students must know:

• How charged objects react to each other (repel, attract)
• Basics of static electricity
• Generalizations about electrical conductors and insulators
• Introductory understanding of electromagnets
• Factors that affect the strength of attraction (distance, charge)
• Magnetism
• Introductory understanding of magnetic field lines

(Electrical circuits, electrical power, voltage, Ohms, or a more advanced analysis of magnetic fields are NOT included.)

Less copies and easy to correct – save time with our test packet format! The test is 4 pages long (2 front/back) with an additional 2-sided answer sheet. You only have to make one class set of test question packets and then reuse them class to class, as it is only necessary for the students to write on their answer sheet.

Related Standards:

• NGSS MS-PS2-3: Ask questions about data to determine the factors that affect the strength of electric and magnetic forces.
• NGSS MS-PS2-5: Conduct an investigation and evaluate the experimental design to provide evidence that fields exist between objects exerting forces on each other even though the objects are not in contact.
