Science assessment should include more than isolated facts. Questions about observations, relationships and experiments can show whether students can use scientific ideas.
Start with a clear plan
Select diagrams that match the concept and have clear labels. For experiments, distinguish the procedure, observation and inference in both the prompt and key.
A practical example
A circuit question can ask students to predict the effect of opening a switch and explain the current path. The diagram must make that path visible.
Review and follow up
Check terminology, units and conditions carefully. If a result depends on a particular assumption, include it in the question rather than leaving students to guess.
Put the guidance into your workflow
Use the Shala Setu question bank guide for the relevant next step. For paper preparation, choose your real board, medium, class, subject and chapters in the app. For jobs or advertising, follow the current account or enquiry instructions rather than assuming that an older announcement is still available.
A quick working checklist
- Confirm the class, subject and teaching goal.
- Check the question, answer and final layout together.
- Use student responses to plan a useful next step.
