CBSE Class 10 Science Syllabus for 2024-2025 is provided in this EduRev document. This is the full syllabus that the board released at the beginning of the session.
1. There will be an Annual Examination based on the entire syllabus.
2. The total Theory Examinations will be of 80 marks and 20 marks of weightage shall be for internal assessment.
3. Internal Assessment:
a. There will be a Periodic Assessment that would include:
b. Practical/laboratory work should be done throughout the year and the student should maintain a record of the same. Practical assessment should be continuous. There will be a weightage of 5 marks towards the final result. All practicals listed in the syllabus must be completed.
c. Portfolio to be prepared by the student: This would include classwork and other samples of student work and will carry a weightage of 5 marks towards the final results.
Unit No. | Unit | Marks |
I | Chemical Substances-Nature and Behaviour | 25 |
II | World of Living | 25 |
III | Natural Phenomena | 12 |
IV | Effects of Current | 13 |
V | Natural Resources | 05 |
Total | 80 | |
Internal Assessment | 20 | |
Grand Total | 100 |
All of the chapters are available on EduRev and follow the CBSE curriculum for 2024-2025. The science curriculum for class X is provided below, along with all the chapter notes, tests, and videos that will aid in your preparation.
The chapter Management of Natural Resources (NCERT Chapter 16) will not be assessed in the year-end examination. However, learners may be assigned to read this chapter and encouraged to prepare a brief write-up to any concept of this chapter in their Portfolio. This may be for Internal Assessment and credit may be given to Periodic Assessment/Portfolio).
Note: The NCERT textbooks present information in boxes across the book. These help students to get conceptual clarity. However, the information in these boxes would not be assessed in the year-end examination.
Practicals should be conducted alongside the concepts taught in theory classes.
