Preface
Formative Assessment emphasizes the fact that students are also the decision makers, a
perspective all-important, but ignored in our past assessment legacy. Conventional assessment
tends to increase the frequency of assessment in order to ensure students mastery of the perceived
standards, while on the other hand assessment for learning focuses on day-to-day development in
learning as students scale up the curricular scaffolding, leading up to desirable standards. It tells
teachers if and when students are acquiring the fundamentals of knowledge, interpretation and
skills. In short, student success does not rest merely on testing more frequently, on what teachers
and principals do with the results, or on how efficiently the data is managed, although these things
can contribute to student success.
By introducing Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) at the secondary level in all its
affiliated schools, CBSE has conveyed the message that assessment must take into account all the
aspects of the personality development of the learner and since learning is a continuous process,
assessment also has to be continuous. CCE fundamentally shifts the focus from testing to learning
by perceiving assessment as an integral part of the overall framework of teaching and learning. It
follows from this that when incorporated into classroom practice, assessment tends to lose its
individual identity and gets subsumed into the instructional process. Such a conceptualization
necessitates a greater thrust on formative assessment. It brings us to the vital need of strengthening
formative assessment because our overall aim is to facilitate learning by improving the teachinglearning process on the basis of information gathered from assessment.
There has been a general lack of conceptual clarity with regard to the formative assessment
practices among stakeholders as a result of which, many apparently formative assessment tools
and procedures have, in effect, been summative in nature, i.e., exercises to gauge, at a particular
point in time, student learning relative to content standards. Many teachers find it a challenge to
develop effective formative assessment tools; they also experience some difficulties in integrating
them with classroom instruction. In order to provide conceptual clarity in this regard and to place
some illustrative examples of formative assessment tasks in the hands of the teachers, the Board
had published a series of Manuals for classes IX and X in all the major subjects, to help teachers
understand and carry out formative assessment in classrooms.
We feel that as we are growing in our understanding and implementation of the CCE in a more
effective manner with each passing year, the teaching-learning material provided to the teachers
must be looked into again. A comprehensive feedback was taken by the Board from teachers in all
the schools affiliated to the Board on Formative Assessment Manuals for Teachers regarding the
quality. The observations and suggestions received after the publication of the first edition and the
opinion of experts in the field have also been taken into account. All the manuals have undergone a
deep scrutiny for errors and nearly every chapter in every manual reflects improvement.

Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction between copper sulphate and iron nails.

Suggestive remediation:

Some students may find it difficult to correlate the diagram to the activity performed in the
class; they may be encouraged to perform the activity themselves once again.
The students may be asked to describe the change in colour and texture of nails and colour of

solution in their own words while carrying out the activity before this sheet is given to them so
that, it doesn't become a rote learning exercise.
Some students may not be able to correlate that the reverse reaction is not possible as iron is

more reactive than copper, teacher may let the students perform this activity in groups to
appreciate that a more reactive element displaces a less reactive one in a displacement reaction.

Suggestive remediation:
Students may be encouraged to understand the valence and symbols given in NCERT Science

textbook so that they may be able to write the formulae of any given inorganic compound by
just criss-cross of valencies and do not take to rote memorization of each formula.
Initially some students may find it difficult to generalize the reactions. Encourage them by

writing more reactions of similar reactants on the board.


While using the above worksheet the teacher may also draw the attention of the students

towards categorizing the reactions into different types studied in the previous unit of
'Chemical Equations and Reactions'.

50

SCIENCE

An extension to the above worksheet may be designed by the teacher by asking students to
formulate their own reactions by taking reactants of their choice.

Another extension to the same may be done in the form of a game where members of one team
write reactants on the board and the members of the other team suggest the products. All this
will surely take the students away from rote memorisation of the reactions and will lead to
appreciation of the chemical reactions.

Suggestive remediation:

This activity worksheet may be used to diagnose difficulties in understanding the concept of
pH value. In case the students are unable to complete the worksheet the teacher may explain
the topic to the students again.

Suggestive remediation:

The above activity, if performed involving the students, can prove an excellent tool for
removing misconceptions about strength and concentration of an acid and base. The same
activity may then be performed by choosing the set of a weak base (sodium carbonate) and
strong acid (HCI) or the set of a weak acid (oxalic acid) and strong base (NaOH).

54

SCIENCE

Some students may find it difficult to write the chemical reaction involved and a generalised
chemical equation. Such students may be encouraged to understand the symbols and valencies
from table 3.6 on page 37 of Class IX NCERT science textbook and revise writing and balancing
of chemical equations.

Some students may find it difficult to differentiate between the terms - a strong acid/ base and a
concentrated acid/ base. They may use the two terms inter changeably. Through this activity
teacher may clarify this doubt.

Extra caution may be taken in explaining precautions to the students. Attention of the students
may be drawn towards how to add the acid slowly with the help of a dropper without spilling
any acid.

Development of observation skills in learners is an important expectation from


teaching/learning of science. Special focus and attention may be given to this aspect.

As this activity involves working with acid and base, the concentration of the acids should not
be more than 0.01 M, approximately diluting 1mL of commercially available concentrated acid
to 1L aqueous solution.

0.4g of NaOH pallets may be dissolved in water to make a solution of 1L to get a 0.01M NaOH
solution. Same NaOH solution may be diluted further in the presence of students to get four
solutions of varying concentrations.

Students must be encouraged to understand the valance and symbol table 3.6, given in class IX,
NCERT science textbook on page 37 so that they may be able to write the formulae of any given
inorganic compound by just crisscross of valencies and do not take to rote memorization of
each formula.

Initially some students may find it difficult to identify the acid and base used to make the salt,
encourage them by telling them to write reactions of formation of salts.

Students may be told that a salt of a


weak acid + weak base = almost neutral

58

SCIENCE
strong acid + strong base = neutral
weak acid + strong base = basic
strong acid + weak base = acidic

While using the above worksheet, the teacher may also draw the attention of the students
towards acid, base indicators.

The predictions made by the students may be checked with the help of litmus paper or solution
so as to strengthen their understanding.

An extension to the above worksheet may be designed by the teacher by asking students to
formulate their own salts by taking acids and bases of their choice.

A list of acids and bases with categories as strong and weak may be given to the students a day
in advance before administering this worksheet. A list is given to help.
Acids

SCIENCE

Another extension to the same may be done in the form of a game where students of one team
write name of a salt on the board and the members of the other team write its formula and
suggest the acid and base that may be used to form that salt and predict the nature of the salt. All
this will surely take the students away from rote memorisation of the concept.

given to the students.

A series of compounds with same functional group is called a homologous series.

Each homologous series can be given a general formula in which number of carbon atom is
denoted by n and then number of hydrogen is related to n. If any other hetro element like 'O'
(oxygen) is present in the compound, its number is also written as a subscript. e.g. general
formula of alkane series is CnH2n + 2

If one knows the general formula of a homologous series, the molecular formula of members
can be written. After the completion of the worksheet teacher may add other significant

Suggestive remediation:
Some students may find it difficult to generalize that two adjacent members of series of same

type of compounds have difference of 'CH2' group in formula and '14u' in molecular mass.
Teacher may help them realise this by giving more examples.

91

SCIENCE

Some students may find it difficult to make the general formula. Teacher may help them by
giving more examples of series with other functional groups (eg. alkenes, alkynes etc.)

Some students find it difficult to extend the series by adding more members. Teacher may
explain, the concept again to them.

Further teacher may add that chemical properties of the members of a homologous series are
same as they all have same functional group and chemical properties of a compound mainly
depends on the functional group present in it. Data about physical properties of members of a
homologous series may be shared with the students to make them appreciate the constant
gradation in the physical properties of the homologues.

SCIENCE
its properties to both the alkali metals and halogens. So the position of halogen in the periodic
table is ambiguous.

Teacher may have to give the meanings of the words- univalent, bivalent, trivalent and
tetravalent ions to the students.

Some students may find it difficult to identify the place of elements in the periodic table, for this
the teacher may have to carry out a revision exercise, in predicting the position of an element
whose electronic configuration is given or vice-versa.

After the students activity, following information may be given to the students:

Mendeleev classified the elements on the basis of atomic masses and chemical properties.

He arranged elements in the increasing order of their atomic mass.

He left gaps in the periodic table for the new elements to be discovered.

In Mendleeve's Periodic Table the elements with same type of oxides and hydrides were
grouped together.

115

SCIENCE

A few elements with higher atomic masses got placed before lower atomic mass element
in order to keep elements with similar properties together.

ACTIVITYIV
Assessment Technique: Role play
Learning Outcomes: The students will be able to

get familiarized with the elements present in different groups in the Modern Periodic Table.

learn and state different properties of the elements.

state the variations in trends of different properties of elements belonging to the same group.
Task: Group work
Time Required: Two Periods
Procedure:
1.

The teacher divides the whole class in '8' groups and assigns each group of students a group
number from the Modern Periodic table (1, 2, 1318).

2.

Each group is asked to collect the information about the elements of the group assigned to them.

3.

Each group shares information with the class in some interesting manner and also explains how
the properties of elements are changing down the group (within 5-8 minutes)

Assessment Criteria:

Correct name of the elements of the group

Description of different properties (minimum 5 different properties)

Explanation of change in different properties

Effective presentation
Suggestive remediation:

Some students may not speak or arrange the elements of the group in proper sequence (as given
in periodic table). Teacher may explain the significance of arranging/learning the elements in
exact sequence as it will help them understand the trends of different properties better.

116

SCIENCE
A few students may not understand the significance of knowing atomic number to know

electronic configuration and finding out the valency of the element. The teacher may explain
that and it will further help them understand other properties and trends in change in the
properties.
A few students may find it difficult to understand the change in metallic and nonmetallic

character of the elements in a group. Help them to discover the trend in the change in metallic
and non metallic characters with the change in the atomic size of the elements of the same
group.
Since it is an exercise to promote self-learning, encouragement may be given to those who find

the task difficult.


Illustration: Group2

Hello! We are the members of group 2

I am Berrilium, I am__________, I am __________

I am Berrilium

My Atomic Number is __________.

My atomic size/ radius is__________.

My electronic configuration is__________.

Number of valence electron, present in my outer most shell is/are__________.

Look, our atomic number is increasing down the group.

Our atomic radius is also increasing down the group.

Because with every period a new shell is being added to us.

Oh! Our valency is same.

Going down the group our metallic character is also increasing (with reason)

We are a happy family and we are called Alkaline Earth Metals and so on.

Note:
Students themselves may bring new ideas of presentation, This may motivate the students to learn better.

find the number of valence electrons in an element and so the valency of element.

calculate the valency of an element if its atomic number is known.

discover the variation in the valency of the elements in the same period.

Task: Individual
Time Required: 20 minutes
Procedure:
1.

The teacher distributes the worksheet to the students after teachinglearning experience of the
Modern Periodic Table. The following may be discussed with the students before they start
working on the worksheet:

Valency (the combining capacity) of an element can be determined by

The number of valence electrons, if the number is equal to or less than 4.

(8 Valence electrons) if the number is more than 4.

In the same group, number of valence electrons and so the valency of the elements is
same.

In the same period, number of valence electrons changes and so the valency of the
elements.

In a period going from left to right first the valency of the elements increases up to 4 than
decrease down to zero to the noble gas element.

Assessment Criteria:
One marks for every correct answer.

Q7. By going left to right in a period, how does the valency of elements vary?
a)

____________________________________________________________________________

b)

____________________________________________________________________________

Suggestive remediation:

Some students may find it difficult to comprehend that valency of an element may be found if
the atomic number of element is known. Teacher may help them by explaining that the atomic
number tells us the number of electrons present in the atom and from which electronic
configuration may be written and so the number of valence electrons in the atom and the
valence may be found.

Some students may write the valency of sulphur wrong. The teacher may help them revise that
if the number of valence electron is more than 4, valency of the element will be calculated
negative (as it tends to gain electrons rather than releasing.)

Some students may find it difficult to understand/discover the trend in the variation in valency
in the period. Teacher may suggest to write the valency of elements in different periods. More
practice will help them to understand and internalise the concept.

A few students may be able to tell the number of valence electrons but not the valence, they may
be given more practice.

Procedure:
1.

The teacher may give the following worksheet after teaching learning about the Modern
Periodic Table. The following information may be revised with students before they start
working on the worksheet.

Elements of 1st group are called alkali metals.

Metallic character increases down the group because of the increase in the size of the atom
of the elements because of which the electrons from the outermost shall can easily be
removed.

Metallic character decreases from left to right in a period because of the increase in the
effective nuclear charge.

Non-metallic character increases from left to right in a period because of increase in


effective nuclear charge.

Non-metallic character decreases down the group because of increase in the size of the
atom.

Intestine, Pancreas, Nasal Passage, Trachea, Lungs, Alveoli, Diaphragm, Larynx.

Illustration:
Topic for Role play: Stomach
The student enacting the role of stomach starts speaking:
Hello Friends, I am stomach, a very important organ of the digestive system. I am large, muscular and
expand when food enters my cavity."

143

SCIENCE
I am placed just below the thoracic cavity towards the left side. I am actually present in the area below the
diaphragm known as the abdominal cavity. I receive the food from oesophagus and then pass it to
duodenum. I regulate the exit of food by a sphincter muscle. It is important that food enters the duodenum
in small quantities for efficient digestion.
My muscular walls secrete digestive juices. These digestive juices consist of hydrochloric acid, a protein
digesting enzyme called pepsin and mucus. The acid facilitates enzyme action and also kills harmful
microorganisms. Mucus protects my inner lining from the action of acid. Pepsin facilitates the digestion of
proteins.
If I am not present, or if I stop working, then digestion of proteins will be affected. Food that is eaten by a
person will not be stored and sent to small intestine in a regulated manner. In other words, a person will
not be able to eat a normal amount of meal but will have to eat more often in small quantities.
I am that part of the alimentary canal where the lumen is widest. I cannot digest the food completely, but
when assisted by other organs of the digestive system, I perform my role efficiently.
Note: The teacher may help the students to prepare effective presentations by providing guidelines and
facilitating the availability of the reference material.

Heredity and Evolution


ACTIVITYI
Assessment Technique: Activity based worksheet
Introduction: Industrial Melanism is a term used to describe the adaptation of a population in response to
pollution. One example of rapid Industrial Melanism occurred in populations of peppered moths in the
area of Manchester, England from 1845 to 1890. Before the industrial revolution, the trunks of the trees in
the forest around Manchester were light grayish-green due to the presence of lichens. Most of the
peppered moths in the area were light colored with dark spots. As the industrial revolution progressed,
the tree trunks were covered with soot and turned dark. Over a period of 45 years, the dark variety of the
peppered moth became more common.
Learning Outcomes: The student will be able to

describe the importance of coloration in avoiding predation.

relate environmental change to adaptive changes in organisms.

explain how natural selection causes populations to change over a period of time.

analyze how colour affects the organism's ability to survive in certain environments.
Task: Group activity (2 students) followed by individual worksheet
Time Required: 30 minutes
Procedure:
In laboratory, teacher simulates how predators locate prey in different environments. Teacher tells
students about Industrial Melanism in England.

Suggestive remediation: Correlating energy consumption in kWh, with power rating of a device, will be
clearly understood if the teacher explains 'definition' of the commercial unit of electrical energy and its
relation with the joule. (1kWh = 3.6 106 J)

The students should be made to appreciate that the numerical value of the power rating (is kW)
of a device equals the numerical value of the commercial units of electrical energy conserved by
it is one hour.

Some of the students may not be able to directly relate resistance to the power of a device.

The teacher may explain how a combination of the formula: (power = voltage current), with
Ohm's law; (Resistance =

2
voltage
(voltage)
) leads to the formula resistance =
current
power

The students may be made to realize that for the same value of their operating voltage (the
mains voltage), the device, with a higher power rating, will have a lower resistance than that a
device with a lower power rating.

ACTIVITYIII
Assessment Technique: Group Work
Learning Outcomes: The students will be able to
interpret the eventual depletions of nonrenewable resources.

predict the effect of changing rate of use of nonrenewable resources on the future.

estimate the effect of increase in population on the use of nonrenewable resources in the

future.
appreciate the importance of conservation of nonrenewable resources.

Task: Group
Time Required: One period
Instructions: The teacher asks the students to form pairs for the activity. Each pair is asked to predict the
number of years in which the nonrenewable resources may get depleted and note down in the given data
sheet. The teacher provides them the following materials:
Materials required for each pair:
An open container for each pair

92 beans (dark coloured rajma) Represents nonrenewable resources.

8 beans (light coloured rajma) Represents renewable resources.

A scarf for blindfolding.

Data sheets A and B.

Procedure:
PARTA
The class is divided into pairs

Each pair keeps 92 dark coloured rajma and 8 light coloured rajma in the container.

Each pair predicts the number of years in which the nonrenewable resources may get depleted

and notes down in the given datasheet A.


One student from each pair is blindfolded.

The other student asks the blindfolded student to remove 10 rajma beans from the container.

242

SCIENCE

The other students of the pair count the number of dark coloured rajma beans left in the
container and note down in the datasheet in the column of 1st year. He/she also puts the light
coloured rajma back into the container.

The blindfolded student again removes 10 rajmas from the contain. The other students again
count the dark coloured rajma left in the container and write the number in the data sheet for
2nd year. Light coloured rajmas are kept back in the container.
The same is repeated for 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th years .............. till all the dark coloured rajmas are

removed from the container.

Each pair calculates the percentage of nonrenewable and renewable resources that remain for
each year. Now the students study the datasheet and compare their prediction with their
observation.
PARTB
Same steps are repeated but this time partners exchange their roles and each pair keeps 184

dark coloured rajma and 16 light coloured rajma in the container.


This time blindfolded student remove five more rajmsa each time (for each year) such as 15

rajma 1st 20 rajma, 2nd 25 rajmas, 3rd ............... . Five more rajma represents the increase in
use of nonrenewable resources every year. How to complete this task with 92 dark coloured
rajma?
After completing the datasheet students find out how long will the nonrenewable resources

last if the rate of use is increasing (may be due to increase in population or due to other
developments).
In this activity students discover how long it can extend the use of nonrenewable resources.

Topics / Issues

You have been sent to an area that has recently been declared a 'Wildlife Sanctuary'. As a
result of poaching, a number of wild animals are listed in the endangered category. The
people from surrounding villages leave their cattle in that area to graze and also cut
trees.

You have been asked to go to an area where a large number of species are facing the
danger of extinction due to invasion of alien species that have been introduced by the
locals for short-term benefits.

257

SCIENCE
Group

Topics / Issues

The area where you have to work has experienced a remarkable downfall in the
production and sale of fish. Only recently, a dam was built on the river that formed the
life-line of that group of villages.

The area defined for you to work is a 'landfill' on the outskirts of a city. That area has
become unfit for human habitation due to foul smell and increase in mosquito
population.

You have been sent to an area that faces acute water shortage even though that area
receives a lot of rain for 3 months. The ground water levels are receding and there has
been a shift in the climate from wet to arid.

The area where you have been asked to function is an area where farming is the main
occupation. Most of the surrounding forest area has been cleared to grow plants. That
area is facing a number of problems like: change in chemical nature of the soil, increase
in cases where lions and tigers have become man-eaters, decrease in productivity from
farms.

You are asked, to go to an area which is in the Himalayan belt. The temperature is
rapidly increasing and as a result the glaciers in that area are melting. The produce of
apple and other similar fruits from the orchards has decreased rapidly.

You are asked to go to area which is in the desert belt. The government wants to help the
local population to discover alternative ways of livelihood as farming alone cannot
sustain the population in that area.

Suggestive remediation:

A symposium helps to bring together information of one important topic delivered by different
speakers. A student besides improving his/her skills in speaking, collaboration, data collection
and presentation, also becomes aware of the importance of biodiversity.

Such activities should not be used to assess learning but should be a means to facilitate learning.
Therefore the teacher must ensure that opportunity for improvement is given to a student if
s/he is not able to perform well.

A few students may not perform well during the presentation. The teacher should identify the
reason and guide the students accordingly.

The students may also be given an alternate activity (Questionnaire based on the presentation
