Arizona AzSCI · Grade 8 · Science
Build Grade 8 Arizona AzSCI readiness with five focused 10-question practice sets covering cells, genetics, ecosystems, matter, energy, Earth systems, engineering, and scientific evidence.
This Arizona Grade 8 AzSCI Science Practice Test page provides five short practice sets with 10 original multiple-choice questions each. The sets support supplemental review across life science, physical science, Earth and space science, engineering, investigation, data, and scientific explanation.
Complete one 10-question set at a time. Record the evidence that supports each answer, review the explanation, and revisit any model or data interpretation that caused an error.
This is supplemental State Test Practice, State Assessment Practice, and Standardized Test Practice. It does not replace current Arizona Department of Education guidance, official AzSCI blueprints, accommodations, or testing schedules.

Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: A
The correct answer is A substance made of one type of atom.
An element contains only one kind of atom.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: B
The correct answer is A gas forms when two substances are mixed.
The formation of a gas can indicate that new substances formed.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: C
The correct answer is It remains constant.
Atoms are rearranged, but matter is conserved in a closed system.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: D
The correct answer is Gas particles are generally farther apart and move more freely.
The particle model describes gases as spread out and liquids as closer together.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: A
The correct answer is 4 grams per cubic centimeter.
Density equals mass divided by volume: 20 / 5 = 4 grams per cubic centimeter.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: B
The correct answer is From the warmer object to the cooler object.
Thermal energy transfers because of a temperature difference.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: C
The correct answer is A ball held highest above the ground.
Gravitational potential energy increases with height and mass.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: D
The correct answer is The closed path allows electric current to flow.
A complete conducting path allows charge to move through the bulb.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: A
The correct answer is Its acceleration increases.
For the same mass, a greater net force produces greater acceleration.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: B
The correct answer is The maximum distance a wave moves from its rest position.
Amplitude measures the size of a disturbance and is related to energy carried by many waves.
