TOOL 4 - LAB EXPERIMENT

Score : 20

Ohms Law
Aim : i)

To verify Ohms law and hence. ii)

To find the resistance of the given wire.

INSTRUCTIONS : The experiment is a group activity of 5-6 students. One student should introduce
the tools used in the experiment. Another should explain the theory behind this experiment. And
the third person tells the procedure for doing it.One should demonstrate the experiment. After
doing the experiment, a student should announce the observation made and result obtained by
them.

Observation :

Time : 45min

TOOL 5 - UNIT TEST

Score : 30

Instruction : Unit test is conducted after the completion of a chapter. This helps to measure the
progress of students and the effectiveness of teacher. The aim of such tests is to diagnose the
difficulties of pupil and suggesting appropriate remedial measures. Apart from being objective
based comprehensive, power of discrimination, the test should be valid and reliable. Score : 30,
Time : 30 minutes.
