Week 1-2 Summative

This document contains a 20 question multiple choice science assessment on forces and Newton's laws of motion for 8th grade science. The questions cover topics like friction, weight, mass, gravity, Newton's three laws of motion and how they relate to real world examples like moving objects with different masses and the motion of objects in cars. The assessment is intended to evaluate students understanding of key concepts from the first two weeks of instruction on forces and Newton's laws.
