Why build a quiz from your child's own science lesson

A chapter on plants or simple circuits is easier to learn when a science quiz for kids tests the exact pages your child just read.

Questions stay on the topic of the lesson you uploaded, not generic trivia.
Each answer includes an explanation a parent can read aloud with the child.
Spaced repetition on Plus brings missed questions back at the right time.
Students get 40% off with a school email, and no credit card is needed to start.

Example science quiz questions for kids

Do plants need sunlight to make their own food?Yes. Through photosynthesis, plants use light, water and carbon dioxide to make sugar, and without enough light they cannot make enough food.

True or false: Without air resistance, a heavy ball and a light ball dropped together hit the ground at the same time.True. Gravity pulls both objects with the same acceleration, so mass does not change how fast they fall.

What is the name of the process where water vapor cools and turns back into liquid droplets?Condensation. Clouds and dew form this way when water vapor cools enough to become liquid again.

Which part of a cell contains its genetic material?The nucleus. It holds the DNA and directs what the cell does.

What force keeps the planets orbiting the Sun?Gravity. It pulls planets toward the Sun, and their sideways motion keeps them from falling straight in.

How it works

Add the lesson

Upload a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of the page your child read this week.

Pick the question types

Select multiple choice, true/false or short answer, depending on what your child is ready for.

Practice or export

Quiz your child in the browser, or export a printable copy to PDF or DOCX on Plus.

Printable sheets from the internet are often written for a different textbook, so many questions may not match what was taught this week. DeckOwl reads your own PDF, slides, DOCX, notes or a photo of a page and writes questions only from that material, each with an explanation.

Parents and teachers can start on the free plan with three generations per month and study in the browser, then move to Plus if they want PDF or DOCX copies to print.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a kids science quiz have?

Five to ten questions is a practical length for most elementary students, long enough to check the main ideas without causing fatigue. Shorter quizzes work well after a single lesson.

What science topics work best for a kids quiz?

Topics with clear facts, such as the water cycle, plant parts, simple machines or the solar system, are easiest to quiz. Start with one lesson and add the next one after your child answers the first set well.

Can I print the quiz or import it into Moodle?

PDF and DOCX export is available on Plus at $39 per year or $7.99 per month, so you can print a copy. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are on Pro at $14.99 per month.
