The test measures skills related to
major aspects of scientific literacy:
recognizing and analyzing the use of methods of inquiry that lead to scientific knowledge and the
ability to organize, analyze, and interpret quantitative data and scientific information.
This test was given
for the 7th standard students under my supervision.
