Sample ILEARN Science Grade 4 Practice Questions
Try these sample questions to review concepts for the ILEARN Science Grade 4 exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 106+ question experience with AI tutoring.
1A student rolls two identical balls. Ball A moves slowly. Ball B moves quickly. Which ball has more kinetic energy?
2A toy car rolls faster down a steeper ramp. Which statement best describes its energy of motion?
3Which is the best everyday example of energy transfer by heat?
4A student drops a ball onto a metal tray and hears a loud clang. Which energy transfer best explains the sound?
5Which object is most likely storing chemical energy that can later be used for motion or heat?
6Waves can transfer energy from one place to another. Which statement is true?
7On a rope wave, the high points of the wave are called crests. What are the low points called?
8A student makes larger up-and-down motions with a rope, so the wave peaks are taller. Which wave property increased?
9Students measure the speed of a rolling marble and the dent it makes in soft clay. Faster marbles make deeper dents. What is the best conclusion?
10Two identical toy trucks roll into a block. Truck 1 is moving slowly. Truck 2 is moving quickly. Which prediction is most reasonable?
About the ILEARN Science Grade 4 Exam
Indiana’s Learning Evaluation and Assessment Readiness Network (ILEARN) Science — Grade 4 is the independently reported Grade 4 science summative in the ILEARN system. Reporting categories include Physical Science, Life Science, Earth and Space Science, and Computer Science (IDOE Science blueprints FAQ). OpenExamPrep free practice is an English-language four-option MCQ study adaptation covering topics from Indiana Academic Standards and ILEARN reporting categories—not official secure items, not a full technology-enhanced or performance-task simulation, and not a substitute for classroom instruction, checkpoints, or the official IDOE assessment.
Exam sponsor: Indiana Department of Education (IDOE); Cambium Assessment delivery. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

ILEARN Science Grade 4: Suggested Study Strategy
Frequently Asked Questions
Who takes ILEARN Science Grade 4?
Indiana students in Grade 4 participate in ILEARN Science (IDOE participation matrix: Science in grades 4 and 6).
What is the format?
Computer-adaptive test with item clusters (phenomena, data, sometimes simulations) and discrete items; no hand-scored open-ended science items (IDOE ILEARN FAQ).
What is the At Proficiency score?
Published cut 163 on the updated science scale (IDOE Cut Scores PDF, SBOE-approved science cuts).
Is this practice an official simulation?
No. Official science uses clusters and TE items; these are English MCQ study aids only.
Is computer science really on the ILEARN Science test?
Yes. IDOE lists Computer Science as one of the four reporting categories for grades 4 and 6 science, at roughly 17% of the assessment, and the ILEARN Science administration includes a separate Computer Science segment.
