Waves Quiz

Get this test at a discount in our Waves Assessment Bundle!

Get kids THINKING!  This NGSS waves quiz includes 10 multiple-choice questions covering the NGSS standards MS-PS4-1 and MS-PS-4-2.

Topics include:

• Waves (mechanical versus electromagnetic)
• Parts of a wave (crest, trough, amplitude, wavelength)
• Why different waves would have different amounts of energy

The questions mimic how NGSS-based standardized tests ask about these topics and include simple diagrams to analyze. Please note: The questions represent an OVERVIEW of waves as intended by MS-PS4-1 and MS-PS4-2, so they do not include questions about wave interference, longitudinal versus transverse waves, etc.

Two very similar versions of the quiz are provided. Wandering eyes will see a quiz that looks like their own, but the answers choices have been changed between the versions.

INCLUDES ANSWER KEYS.
