This quiz is one of four Spanish science quizzes that you are being provided with here in the Spanish Medium Review quiz series. The science quizzes are designed only to help you learn new vocabulary words and not new information. Most of the information you should have already learned in your regular science classes and/or if you have taken the GRADE 7, Science – Basic Anatomy: The Skeleton quiz. With the understanding that you have already studied the skeletal bones, in this Spanish Medium Review quiz you will look at the science of the human body’s skeletal bones. Again, it will focus solely on the Spanish vocabulary words that are used to describe the same terms of the bones of the human skeleton. No detailed descriptions of the skeleton will be given here.
When you get to the quiz section after this introduction, you will be given ten descriptions from which you will need to find the correct Spanish word that the description has described. For a quiz refresher on the descriptions, you might want to take a look back at the GRADE 7 quiz mentioned above. However, for now, let’s simply take a look at your new Spanish vocabulary list.
