Examination Detail:
– Paper will include questions of all 3 disciplines of Science together.
– Duration of the paper will be 2 hours.
– The examination will be On-screen and catering to all 4 criteria.
Note: Extra time will be provided only if any technical issues arise during the online assessment.
- Questions will be asked based on the Criteria of individual unit assessed during Summative Assessments. Eg: If a Unit-X has catered to learning objective A- strand (i), (ii) and objective B-strand (i) only, then the questions from this unit will only be asked in Criteria A and B.
- Fully charged Chromebook will be required along with personal stationery and wired earphones. In case your Chromebook is given for repair, bring a receipt for the same.
- All the resources shared on Curricle(subject resource sheet and google presentation), Google Classroom as well as the worksheets provided(online or in hard copy) will be considered as a part of the syllabus and will be sufficient to prepare for the examination.
- Paper will include MCQ-type questions, short and long responses.
Important points for Assessment in Science:
The assessment will cater to all four criteria of Science and will include questions based on individual criterion:
- Criterion A is Knowing and Understanding where teachers try to evaluate scientific knowledge from all the units covered
- Criterion B is Inquiring and Designing which is based on designing a scientific investigation to solve a specific problem given
- Criterion C is Processing and Evaluating which caters to interpreting and giving a solution to the problem and
- Criterion D is Reflecting on the Impact of Science where students will be assessed on how well do they connect scientific knowledge gained with its real-life applications
