The correct sentence is:
“Put your science projects next to the seventh graders’,” he instructed.
This sentence is punctuated correctly. The apostrophe placement in "seventh graders’" is correct because it indicates possession (the projects belong to the seventh graders).
The other sentences have punctuation issues, particularly with the placement of quotation marks and apostrophes.
