CBSE Class 10 Science Practical Syllabus 2025: Download the List of Experiments in PDF

CBSE Class 10 Science Practical Syllabus: The CBSE Class 10 practical exams are scheduled to commence from January 1, 2025. Schools will organize the practical exams according to their internal schedules and ensure they are completed before the specified deadline. 

The practical component is an integral part of the Science subject, and the marks secured in these exams are added to the overall evaluation. Therefore, it is essential for students to prepare thoroughly according to the latest syllabus prescribed by CBSE.

In this article, we have provided a detailed overview of the CBSE Class 10 Science Practical Syllabus for the upcoming practical exam. The syllabus includes the comprehensive list of science experiments released by CBSE for the practical assessment of Class 10 science.

Why Are Practicals Important in Class 10 Science?

1. Hands-On Learning: Experiments allow students to apply theoretical concepts in real-life scenarios.
2. Critical Thinking: Practical work helps in developing analytical and problem-solving skills.
3. Examination Perspective: Practicals carry significant weightage in the final board exams, making them an essential scoring opportunity.
