PS Physical Sciences

  • 7-MS-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-MS-PS1-4Energy Forms, Transfer, and TransformationDevelop a model that predicts and describes changes in particle motion, temperature, and the state of a pure substance when thermal energy is added or removed
  • 7-MS-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-MS-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

ESS Earth and Space Sciences

  • 7-MS-ESS2-4Sun, Moon, Earth, Stars, and Space SystemsDevelop a model to describe the cycling of water through Earth's systems driven by energy from the sun and the force of gravity
  • 7-MS-ESS2-5Data Provide Evidence Motions Complex Interactions Air MassesCollect data to provide evidence for how the motions and complex interactions of air masses results in changes in weather conditions
  • 7-MS-ESS2-6Water Cycle, Weather, Climate, and AtmosphereDevelop and use a model to describe how unequal heating and rotation of the Earth causes patterns of atmospheric and oceanic circulation that determine regional climates
  • 7-MS-ESS3-5Scientific Questions, Investigations, and EvidenceAsk questions to clarify evidence of the factors that have caused the rise in global temperatures over the past century

LS Life Sciences

  • 7-MS-LS1-3Cells, Body Systems, and GeneticsUse an argument supported by evidence for how the body is a system of interacting subsystems composed of groups of cells
  • 7-MS-LS1-6Organism Needs, Structures, and Life CyclesConstruct a scientific explanation based on evidence for the role of photosynthesis and cellular respiration in the cycling of matter and flow of energy into and out of organisms
  • 7-MS-LS1-7Cells, Body Systems, and GeneticsDevelop a model to describe how food is rearranged through chemical reactions forming new molecules that support growth and/or release energy as this matter moves through an organism
  • 7-MS-LS2-5Undertake Project Assists Maintaining Diversity Ecosystem Services CoralUndertake a design project that assists in maintaining diversity and ecosystem services
  • 7-MS-LS2-4Ecosystems, Food Webs, and Matter FlowConstruct an argument supported by empirical evidence that changes to physical or biological components of an ecosystem affect populations
  • 7-MS-LS3-2Organism Needs, Structures, and Life CyclesDevelop and use a model to describe why asexual reproduction results in offspring with identical genetic information and sexual reproduction results in offspring with genetic variation
  • 7-MS-LS4-4Cells, Body Systems, and GeneticsConstruct an explanation based on evidence that describes how genetic variations of traits in a population increase some individuals' probability of surviving and reproducing in a specific environment
  • 7-MS-LS4-5Organism Needs, Structures, and Life CyclesGather, read, and synthesize information about technologies that have changed the way humans influence the inheritance of desired traits in organisms

Louisiana Grade 7 Science FAQ

Does Louisiana test science in grade 7?

Yes. Louisiana students take LEAP 2025 Science in grade 7. It is the state's seventh-grade science assessment.

Which standards does grade 7 science in Louisiana follow?

Louisiana follows the Louisiana Student Standards for Science, published by the Louisiana Department of Education. All 16 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.
