PS Physical Science
- 7-PS1-2Material Properties and UsesAnalyze and interpret data on the properties of substances before and after the substances interact to determine if a chemical reaction has occurred
- 7-PS1-5Particles, Atoms, Elements, and CompoundsDevelop and use a model to describe how the total number of atoms does not change in a chemical reaction and thus mass is conserved
- 7-PS1-6Chemical and Physical ChangesUndertake a design project to construct, test, and modify a device that either releases or absorbs thermal energy
- 7-PS2-2Forces, Motion, and InteractionsPlan an investigation to provide evidence that the change in an object's motion depends on the sum of the forces on the object and the mass of the object
- 7-PS2-3Forces, Motion, and InteractionsAsk questions about data to determine the factors that affect the strength of electric and magnetic forces
- 7-PS2-5Forces, Motion, and InteractionsConduct 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
- 7-PS3-1Scientific Tools, Measurement, and Data DisplaysConstruct and interpret graphical displays of data to describe the relationships of kinetic energy to the mass of an object and to the speed of an object
- 7-PS3-2Gravity and Object MotionDevelop a model to describe that when the arrangement of objects interacting at a distance changes, different amounts of potential energy are stored in the system
- 7-PS3-3Energy Forms, Transfer, and TransformationApply scientific principles to design, construct, and test a device that either minimizes or maximizes thermal energy transfer
- 7-PS3-4Matter Properties, States, and ClassificationPlan an investigation to determine the relationships among the energy transferred, the type of matter, the mass, and the change in the average kinetic energy of the particles as measured by the temperature of the sample
- 7-PS3-5Energy Forms, Transfer, and TransformationConstruct, use, and present arguments to support the claim that when the kinetic energy of an object changes, energy is transferred to or from the object
- 7-PS4-1Light, Sound, and Wave BehaviorUse mathematical representations to describe a simple model for waves that includes how the amplitude of a wave is related to the energy in a wave
- 7-PS4-2Material Properties and UsesDevelop and use a model to describe that waves are reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through various materials

Does Kentucky test science in grade 7?
Yes. Kentucky students take KSA Science in grade 7. It is the state's seventh-grade science assessment.
Which standards does grade 7 science in Kentucky follow?
Kentucky follows the Kentucky Academic Standards for Science, published by the Kentucky Department of Education. All 23 of this grade's standards are listed further down the page with their official codes.
How long are the practice tests?
Each of the six practice tests has 40 questions and a 70-minute timer. The timer auto-submits at zero and you get your score, a breakdown by science area, and a written explanation for every question.
Is any of this free?
Yes, every practice test, quiz, and flashcard set on this page is free and needs no login. Your progress is saved in your own browser and nowhere else.
What is the fastest way to use this page?
Take practice test 1 cold. Look at the topic breakdown, pick the weakest science area, and do that skill quiz. Then read the quick review for that area and come back for practice test 2.
