This resource turns human and natural causes into a complete, ready to use review for Grade 6-8 earth science, covering the same NGSS standard from three different angles.

Among the ninety questions, students will see prompts such as "Which of the following trends has been observed in solar cycle data?", "What is a significant consequence of increased CO₂ levels?", and "What role does the ocean play in climate regulation?"

What's Inside?

• 30 Multiple Choice questions as a separate print ready PDF worksheet
• 30 True or False questions as a separate print ready PDF worksheet
• 30 Short Answer questions as a separate print ready PDF worksheet
• Includes Answer Key with Explanations for all 90 questions
• 6 print ready PDF files, 27 pages in total

All three worksheets cover the same topic in different question styles. That means you can use one as a pretest, another for practice or homework, and the third as a follow up quiz, without students ever seeing the same question twice.
