Project Koa (“Warrior”)
HSA NGSS Science Prep Simulations
Built for the 8th-grade students of Wahiawā Middle School
Practice until the real test feels familiar.
These simulations were designed by Joseph Avery, an 8th-grade science teacher at Wahiawā Middle School, for the purpose of preparing 8th graders for their HSA NGSS state science test.
This product has taken over 400 man-hours to build, and it was created out of love for the 8th-grade students of WMS. As your teacher, I genuinely care about you. I want you to be prepared, confident, and fearless. No other school in the state has this.
The Mission
Prepared. Confident. Fearless.
The goal is not just to memorize answers; it is to train your brain to slow down, read evidence carefully, compare data, eliminate weak choices, and use scientific reasoning under pressure. If you can learn how to use test logic and analytical thinking to pass these simulations, you will be more than ready for the real thing.

Student reminder: These are supposed to feel difficult. That is the point. When you struggle productively, analyze evidence, and figure out why an answer works, you are training the same thinking skills you will use on the real HSA NGSS science test.
