Quizlet for the test:
http://quizlet.com/subject/test-chapter-1-prentice-hall-science-explorer-inside-earth/



Here are some sites that are harder than our test will be.  Their test is just an intro to earth science.  These tests might help with lesson 26 though... especially since when kids take standardized tests they often do not know the answers and need to practice process of elimination.
