Middle School Earth Science FINAL EXAM for NGSS-ESS

50 Multiple Choice Question Earth Science FINAL EXAM – mimics standardized tests! Also can be used as a pre-assessment.   Topics Include: Moon phases/eclipses Tides Scale of objects in the solar system Gravity in the solar system Earth’s motions in space Weathering and erosion Rock cycle Plate tectonics Weather and climate   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.   Teacher Notes: ANSWER KEY PROVIDED. Please note that this Earth Science final exam is not editable. Get this test in our Earth/Space Science Assessment Bundle! You can also shop our TPT store!
