Practical is one of the important aspects in the teaching and learning of KBSR Science. Through practical, the ability of pupils to solve problems and make decisions responsibly can be tested. Besides, scientific attitudes and noble values of pupils also can be tested through practical. In fact, practical will be evaluated during the teaching and learning of science. This evaluation will be carried out by using Guidelines Of Practical Assessment that is prepared by the Examination Board. The result of this assessment will become one of the inputs in the grading og the UPSR Science paper.
