This diagnostic assessment is designed for middle school students to evaluate their foundational knowledge in life, earth, and physical science topics. The assessment includes questions on biological systems, ecosystems, geological processes, and physical science principles. It aims to identify understanding regarding energy generation in cells, the role of decomposers in ecosystems, and the nature of alleles in genetics. The document further explores earth science concepts such as the water cycle and tectonic plates, and physical science topics related to forces and states of matter. Students are encouraged to justify their answers and engage with interactive tasks, including drawing and writing, to demonstrate their comprehension across various scientific disciplines.
