The assessment complements the Teaching and Learning practices to provide both teachers and students timely and accurate information of the extent of learning, understanding of concepts and mastery of skills. In addition, assessment is also planned to assess affective domains of students, and can be differentiated to provide opportunities for students of high ability to be stretched.

Individual
     -   Written Topical Assignments   
         (*includes challenging questions for students of high ability)
     -   Written Topical Common Tests  
         (*include challenging questions for students of high ability)
     -   Written Pop Quizzes

Besides individual written assignments and common tests, assessment also comes in the form of authentic performance tasks (in groups or as an individual) that mirror real-world issues & problem solving & real world applications. Designing assessment tasks which demands from students to display a variety of products and demonstrate a repertoire of skills can thus allows students to develop 21^st century skills and be competent in them.
 

The products and/or skills which we expect students to present or demonstrate include:

     -    Science Article Review/Article Critique on newspaper articles and science journals
     -    Journal writing
     -    Abstract Writing-Students are to write abstract for a given scientific journal
     -    Authentic Learning tasks (Group report) e.g. Construction of Periscope
     -    Problem-solving task e.g. Designing a glider
     -    Research Studies (Science Investigative Project
     -    Group presentation and report)
     -    Laboratory practical work assessment e.g. observation tests, practical experimental design
     -    Investigative Practical Report
     -    Viva voce: oral assessment
     -    Oral Presentation of group project
     -    Planning a written experimental design
     -    Interdisciplinary cum Multiple Intelligences Project (include research skills and Article                        Analysis/ Reseach Report Writing )

Assessments are also designed to leverage on the use of ICT. These include:
     -    use of dataloggers
     -    online learning resources and online quizzes for individual’s summative
           performance assessment
     -    Internet Research, powerpoint presentation and e-Poster design

Assessments that assess affective domain
     -    Peer evaluation
     -    Work attitudes
     -    Daily work

Dunman Experience
With Dunman High being an Integrated Programme school, we can fully explore the advantage of building up the skills in Sciences throughout the six-year programme. There is a spiral building up of skills from Year 1 to Year 6. The Integrated Programme allows us to have holistic and comprehensive programme in the teaching and learning of Sciences. Our talented students, explore research projects and participate in national competitions that require knowledge in the sciences. As they progress to Senior High, they have opportunities to organize competitions and camps for their juniors. Through these events, the Senior High students apply the knowledge built throughout their Junior High years to plan and implement tasks and activities that demonstrate their ability to incorporate knowledge from the science discipline.

评估与测试
评估与测试在学习中扮演了举足轻重的角色，因为它能为学生的程度和进展做准确又及时的报告。此外，本院也通过测试来评估学生在情感领域的发展。测试方式也可凭学生能力区分，以更有效的挑战能力高的学生。

个人评估
     -    专题作业（*包括为高能力学生所设的更具挑战性问题）
     -    专题测验（*包括为高能力学生所设的更具挑战性问题）
     -    “突击”测验

除了书面式个人作业和测验外，本院也依据学生在以真实情况为背景的问题解答中的表现来评估他们应用知识和技巧的能力。类式活动可由个人或小组方式进行。本院深信运用不同的评估方式来鼓励，加强和提高学生的21世纪技能。

通过本院课程，我们希望学生能拥有和发挥以下技巧：
     -    为科学文章做回顾报告或分析报刊/科学期刊里的文章
     -    回顾和记录学习重点
     -    编写科学研究报告摘要
     -    解答或分析以真实情况为背景的问题（小组形式），例如：建设潜望镜
     -    解答难题，例如：设计滑翔机
     -    进行研究学习（通过科学探索作业）
     -    通过科学实验测试
     -    为探索性质的实验做报告
     -    口试
     -    通过口述形式发表小组报告
     -    设计科学实验
     -    有效应付跨学科与多元智能性质的作业（包括研究技巧，文章分析，报告撰写等）

评估与测试过程也借助信息和通讯技术。这些包括：
     -    数据采集器
     -    网上学习资源和测验（来评估个人学习表现）
     -    互联网研究，PowerPoint，电子海报设计

评估也同时包涵情感领域
    -    学生互评
    -    学习和工作态度
    -    例常课业表现

德明政府给予的学习经验
禀着直通车学院所给予的优势，我校在培育科学的知识技能方面更加系统化。直通车课程也让教学方式更灵活与全面。其中，科学才华洋溢的学生更有机会进行各类的科研活动和参与不同比赛。在步入高中部后，学生也将有机会为学弟妹举办各类比赛和营会。通过这些活动，高中部学生将有机会证明在科学方面学以致用的能力。
