Please read the following before starting an exercise:
The topics of this exercise are "solar system, soil properties, forces and motion, magnet properties, describe animal growth, conduction/density/buoyancy, human impacts on ecosystems, environmental impacts to species, construct reasonable explanations, construct graphs/charts to examine data".
If you need to study the topics, please do so before your exercise.
The exercise will take about 10 minutes. Our system starts to count time, when the exercise is loaded. Make sure you are not interrupted.
Select "Start Exercise" when you are ready. After you submit your answers, Beestar will grade your exercise.
