Chapter 3 Physical Science Test Review Sheet (2013)
Below is a list of items which will be on the upcoming test. It is to be used as a frame of reference, not a lineby-line description of what is on it. The test will be divided into two sections. The first section described here
will be the assessment portion which you will be given an opportunity to improve your grade. The other portion
of the test will be divided between multiple choice and short answer/essay questions. You will only be given
one opportunity to take this portion of the test.
