7^th and 8^th Grade Science

Central Park Middle School, Schenectady

Welcome to 7^th grade! In order to understand what it is I expect from you throughout the upcoming year, I am giving you a very quick and simple test. Now, don’t get nervous. This will be painless and rather fun. Down below you will find several questions about topics that will be discussed throughout the year. I find it helpful to know beforehand what it is I am going to learn. So I am giving you a brief tour of the 7^th grade curriculum. You must answer each question but don’t fret, I am giving you the site in which you will find the answer. Just click on the site and do a little reading and before you know it your done! Enjoy and good luck!
