Ecology Unit Test

My seventh graders are finished with their ecology unit.

OH MY GOODNESS TESTING IS IN THREE WEEKS!!

Excuse that little outburst right there.

But really, March just started!  How can you expect the students to have learned one year's worth of science when it's only March?!  And this is sped, too.  We need to review.   We seriously need to review.  What's worse is that they're taking their language arts and math tests this week, so I see only some of them some of the time while they're testing.  So this is basically a wasted week.  I could really be screaming:

OH MY GOODNESS TESTING IS IN TWO WEEKS (ADJUSTED)!!

Okay so we're finishing off ecology.  There's a test.  We have one week on the important parts of evolution, one week of INTENSE REVIEW, then it's testing time.  After that we'll go back and teach everything about evolution that we didn't get to teach, plus the other two units that are scheduled for April and May (Oh, and there will probably be a couple of questions on the test pertaining to the material you were never able to get to).  Sigh.

And now, getting back on track:

HERE'S THE TEST!

To download it, scroll to the bottom of the page.  

(Since they're already taking PARCC testing for LA and math, I thought I would be nice and give them multiple easy bonus questions, just to make them feel better about tests and their life in general. That was exceedingly thoughtful of me, I know.)
