Free practice quizzes › Prep Science quiz › Working scientifically
Here is the ground the questions cover. In Prep working scientifically means asking questions, observing with the senses, sharing what was noticed and drawing or talking about findings.
The items are tagged to the Victorian Curriculum for Prep, so a score here reflects the standard a Prep class is working to, not a generic online level.
A wrong answer is more useful than a right one if you know why it happened. In sessions with Prep students, these are the patterns our tutors see most:
Each of these is fixable in a session or two once it has been named, which is why the results panel below shows the correct answer and an explanation rather than just a score.
If the quiz shows a gap, more of the same worksheets rarely fixes it. Try these instead:
Science at this age is curiosity with a bit of structure. Ask what do you notice and what do you think will happen, and let your child test it.
We keep 16 working scientifically questions for Prep that meet our standard, at the easy and at-level tiers, and this page serves 10 of them at a time. The default set is stable, so a teacher or parent can share the link; a fresh set is one click away. Marking happens on our server so the answer key cannot be read from the page.

From RHZ Tutoring's own Prep Science question bank, written to the Victorian Curriculum, checked by a tutor and passed through an automated quality gate. The same bank feeds our tutoring sessions and the free Skills Check. The questions on this page sit at the easy and at-level tiers.
Read the explanation for each incorrect answer first; most gaps in working scientifically are one of the misconceptions listed on this page. Then try a second set a few days later. If it is still low, the free Skills Check will show whether the gap is confined to this topic, and a tutor can build a short catch-up plan.
