ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.

Jonah, I basically do agree with you, but on the other hand, your
organization is getting $$ and the granting organization has to have
some way to show it was money well spent.
So...How about concept maps? Pre and Post. More open-ended than a
quiz, still assessing content knowledge, and connections.
Or you could do an attitudinal assessment as others have suggested-- at
the beginning of the whole 10 session series, and one after. Have the
kids use Mo. and Day of Birth or some such for an ID-- then you can
compare pre/post responses. If you do a Likert scale style instrument,
it's a lot less work, but still a rigorous "analyzable" assessment.
You could make Bar Graphs! Pie Charts!
sorry,
