Philosophy In the Science and Technology for Children program, assessment is an ongoing, integral part of instruction. Because assessment emerges naturally from the activities in the lessons, students are assessed in the same manner in which they are taught. They may. for example, perform experiments, record their observations, or make oral presentations. Such performance-based assessments permit the examination of processes as well as of products, emphasizing what students know and can do.
