Need to prepare your kid for the 5th grader state exam in science? This app is first part of the two part science quiz series. Fifth graders are required to take and get a passing grade on the science test given by the state. The "5th Grade Science Quiz" app series will help your kid in preparing for the science exam. Our curriculum specialist has handpicked questions that will test various science concepts that a fifth grader needs to know.

The app is a practice drill for students of ages 9-11 years old. In this app, we have not only given traditional multiple choice questions but supplemented with illustrations for the answer choices to give a better understanding about the answer. There are 10 sets of practice drills, with 15 questions in each set. Covers 5th grade science common core curriculum and Texas curriculum. This app will go nicely with other science learning and glossary apps to teach science concepts to our young students and will help tremendously in their journey towards STEM. Teachers and parents can also leverage this app in preparing for exams with students.

The next upgrade of this app will also have voice narration for helping slow learning students. Illustrations and voice are powerful techniques to remember various difficult science concepts.

Features of the app:
+ Curriculum based hand chosen numerous sets of quizzes.
+ Beautiful illustrations
+ Inspiring feedback to students

- Identify the boiling and freezing/melting points of water on the Celsius scale;
- Demonstrate that some mixtures maintain physical properties of their ingredients such as iron filings and sand;

+ Force, motion, and energy
