CBSE Class 10 Science Practical Syllabus 2023-2024: Practical work is considered as an essential part of Science education as it helps to develop the students’ practical skills related to interpretation and application of the scientific concepts. In CBSE Class 10, students should regular with the Science practical work not only because it contributes towards their final result but also because it would help them to gain concept clarity and strengthen their basics.
The Central Board of Secondary Education, CBSE has mentioned certain guidelines for conducting the CBSE Class 10 Science Practicals which are as follows:
- Practical / Laboratory work should be done throughout the year.
- Student should maintain a record of all experiments and lab work in a file.
- Practical Assessment should be continuous.
- Practical work carries a weightage of 5 marks towards the final result.
- All practicals listed in the syllabus must be completed.
