PHYSICS

The academic year is divided into four terms. The evaluation of the child’s progress is based on the formal examinations as well as, on the day to day
performance under the Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE). Formal examinations will be held at the end of each term.

There will be four formal examinations in a session –


 Pre Mid-Term Assessments (PT1) – This will include the entire syllabus of Term-1.
 Mid-Term Assessments (MT) – This is cumulative in nature and includes the entire syllabus of Term-1 & Term-2.
 Post Mid-Term Assessments (PT2) – This will include the syllabus of Term-3 only.
 Annual examinations (AE) – This will be cumulative in nature and will include the entire syllabus from Term-1 to Term-4.

task such as designing, data collection, interpretation
of results.  Recording the activity, observation and interpretation in appropriate manner giving
appropriate figures.
 The skills used during these activities will be
continuously evaluated through out the academic
session.
The details of written assessment are mentioned below.
