A science standards reference for grade 7, with codes and learning expectations from Tennessee Academic Standards for Science. If your Tennessee classroom or report card mentions a code, you will find it here.
PS Physical Sciences
- 7.PS1.1Particles, Atoms, Elements, and CompoundsEvaluate and communicate information that all substances in the universe are made of many different types of atoms that combine in various ways
- 7.PS1.2Material Properties and UsesCollect and analyze data about the physical properties of the components of a mixture to use as evidence that the identities of the components change during a chemical reaction
- 7.PS1.3Patterns, Systems, Cause and Effect, and ChangeDevelop a model to explain how changes to a system can be explained by changes in temperature and/or pressure and the effect of those changes on particle motion and/or spatial arrangement
- 7.PS1.4Particles, Atoms, Elements, and CompoundsUse computational thinking to demonstrate that all atoms in the reactants are present in the products of a chemical reaction supporting the Law of Conservation of Mass
- 7.PS3.1Chemical and Physical ChangesPlan and carry out an investigation to demonstrate that the interaction between substances can cause chemical reactions that release or store energy
- 7.PS3.2Chemical and Physical ChangesDevelop a model to explain how food is utilized through chemical reactions to form new molecules that support growth, resulting in the release of energy as matter moves through an organism
LS Life Sciences

Does Tennessee test science in grade 7?
Yes. Tennessee students take TCAP Science in grade 7. It is the state's seventh-grade science assessment.
Which standards does grade 7 science in Tennessee follow?
Tennessee follows the Tennessee Academic Standards for Science, published by the Tennessee Department of Education. All 18 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.
