The study integrates concept cartoons with two-tier tests in hopes that those carton images presented in the aboriginal culture will not only help aboriginal students understand the meaning of the questions, but also gain interest during the test. Concept cartoons refer to cartoons are drawn by daily life scenarios with the scientific concept. Learners will produce different cognitive perspectives and be stimulated to think deeper. Two-tier tests include two to four multiple choices in the first tier test, and the reason options in the second tier test as references for the learners to select correct answers in the first tier test. This mechanism not only evaluates the correctness of students’ concept, but also helps learners, whether they truly understand the background knowledge. Research results indicate the two-tier tests integrated with concept cartoons based on aboriginal culture significantly benefit students’ scientific concepts.
