Class 10 Science in the CBSE curriculum brings together concepts from Physics, Chemistry, and Biology that help students understand the natural world and its processes in a deeper, more connected way. The syllabus begins with topics like Chemical Reactions and Equations, Acids, Bases and Salts, Metals and Non-metals, and Carbon and its Compounds, which build a strong foundation in Chemistry. These chapters not only explain how substances interact and change but also link the concepts to everyday life, such as corrosion, food preservation, and uses of carbon compounds.
The Biology section introduces life-related processes and systems through Life Processes, Control and Coordination, How do Organisms Reproduce?, and Heredity. Students explore how living beings obtain energy, respond to stimuli, reproduce, and pass traits to the next generation. These chapters aim to develop an understanding of the unity and diversity of life, making connections between microscopic processes and large-scale patterns seen in nature.
The Physics portion covers Light – Reflection and Refraction, The Human Eye and the Colourful World, Electricity, and Magnetic Effects of Electric Current, helping students grasp the principles that govern light, vision, and electrical phenomena. The syllabus concludes with Our Environment, which encourages awareness about human impact on nature and the need for sustainable living. Together, these chapters provide a balanced mix of theory and application, preparing students for higher studies and fostering scientific thinking.
