(ii) assignments that encourage students to do independent study - having them solve problems and answer questions that are not necessarily to be found at the end of the textbook; these must be regularly given and should be regularly evaluated

(iii) having formal experimentation classes and observing how students work in a lab setting - however this can be done only if the lab classes have been a part of the regular teaching-learning. In high school (upto class 10) the objective of working in a lab class is to learn how to work in the lab and not necessarily learn the content and how to work in a lab is a skill that must be taught separately!

For sample formats, please see assessment methods used for a class of [[karnatakaeducation.org.in/KOER/File:EVS_2010_-_11_student_records_-_for_the_forum.ods environmental-science]] and [[karnatakaeducation.org.in/KOER/File:Physics_Class_9_-_2009-10_student_records.ods Physics]] for class 9.  For this form of assessment to be effective, it must be accompanied by a similarly structured teaching [[karnatakaeducation.org.in/KOER/File:Physics_Lesson_Plan_outlines_-_Class_IX.ods plan]].
