Description
⭐️Updated to include print and online digital notebook version included! ⭐️
This end of year middle school science test review packet is designed for Virginia students, but it can easily be aligned for any state.
⭐️ Answer Key included! ⭐️
⭐️Over 100+ questions!!⭐️
Students must use their higher-order thinking skills to evaluate the graphics used. Very similar. to various state tests giving throughout the United States. Allow students to work independently, have them work in groups with you, or complete as stations. The possibilities are endless! It's a very thorough assignment, so plan accordingly! If you don't want to overwhelm your students, don't give it to them all at once.
The topics students are expected to review are:
Earth & Space
Inner and outer planets
Rotation vs Revolution
Seasons
Distance from the sun
Eclipses
Moon phases
Earth’s Resources
Renewable vs Nonrenewable Resources
Water
Water cycle
Phases of Matter
Universal Solvent
Density
Weathering
Adhesion
Cohesion
Atmosphere
Layers of the atmosphere (order)
What’s contained in each atmospheric layer
Conditions of each layer
Watershed
Water quality tests (pH, temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, nutrients) & purpose
Virginia Watershed map is included (for this state) but still great practice for map reading skills and demonstrating basic understanding of watershed systems
