Summative Test Science 8

This document contains a 25 question summative test on Newton's Laws of Motion administered to 8th grade science students at Malinao School for Philippine Craftsmen. The multiple choice questions cover concepts like forces, weight, inertia, acceleration, and Newton's three laws of motion. The test also includes two short answer problems requiring students to use the formula for acceleration (F=ma) to solve for force or acceleration given mass and the other variable. The test was prepared by the subject teacher Mrs. Juliet Villaruel-Almonacid.
