Important Guidelines to refer textbook
Dear Students...
Learning science does not mean scoring good marks in the subject. Competencies like
thinking logically and working systematically, learned through it, have to be practised in daily
life. To achieve this, instead of memorizing the scientific theories by rote, one must be able to
study them analytically. That means, in order to understand the concepts of science, you need
to proceed by discussing, describing, conducting experiments to verify, making observations,
confirming with your own ideas and drawing conclusions. This textbook helps you to learn in
that way.
What you need to do to achieve such things:
• In 10th class the range of concepts is wide. So go through each lesson thoroughly
before the teacher actually deals with it.
• Note down the points you came across so that you can grasp the lesson better.
• Think of the principles in the lesson. Identify the concepts you need to know further,
to understand the lesson in depth.
• Do not hesitate to discuss analytically the questions given under the sub-heading
‘Think and Discuss’ with your friends or teachers.
• You may get some doubts while conducting an experiment or discussing a lesson.
Express them freely and clearly.
• Plan to implement experiment/lab periods together with teachers, to understand the
concepts clearly. While learning through the experiments you may come to know
many more things.
• Observe how each lesson is helpful to conserve nature. Put what you learnt into practice.
• Analyse how each teaching point has relation with daily life and discuss the things you
learned in your science class with farmers, artisans etc.
• Work as a group during interviews and field trips. Preparing reports and displaying
them is a must. Discuss the report prepared.
• List out the observations regarding each lesson to be carried through the internet, school
library and laboratory.
• Whether in notebook or exams, write analytically, expressing your own opinions.
• Read books related to your textbook, as many as you can.
• You organize the Science Club programs in your school.
• Observe problems faced by the people in your locality and find out what solutions you
can suggest through your science classroom.
