Primary 3/4 Science Assessment

For Formative Assessment of the pupils, the following are

introduced:

1) Performance-Based Assessment (PBA) tasks

- these tasks build on earlier content knowledge and process

skills and are strategically placed in the unit to enhance

learning. The students are required to apply what they have

learnt & apply it to a given project/ activity.

They are both an integral part of the learning and an opportunity to

assess the quality of student performance.

2) Topical Reviews

**Concepts learnt in P3 to P6 will be assessed during PSLE

Do not throw away science textbooks!
