The CBSE board is responsible for conducting class 10th Science practical exams every year. The exams were held twice a year during the academic year 2021-22. For both Term 1 and Term 2, students gave two practicals. The CBSE class 12th practicals, on the other hand, will have 20 marks, which will also be equally divided for the two terms. Therefore, both terms will be worth 10 points. The syllabus has also been reduced by 30% in all the subjects, both theory and practical. 

Knowledge of Practical Science and its implementation is taught to the students of class 10th through experiments. The main objective of learning Practical Science is to familiarize students with the various kinds of experiments being performed in the laboratories and the different tools required.  Students will clearly understand the concepts when performing experiments as they will visually observe the changes during experimental activities.

List of Experiments in CBSE Class 10th Science Practical Book 

 The term-wise experiments and their details are listed below:

Term 1:

Experiment 1: 

1. To find the pH of the below-given samples using universal indicator/ pH paper.

   • Water 

   • Dilute Hydrogen Carbonate solution 

   • Dilute Ethanoic Acid solution

   • Lemon juice

   • Dilute Hydrochloric Acid

   • Dilute NaOH solution

2. To study the properties of Acids and Bases on the basis of their reaction with the following:

   • Solid sodium carbonate

   • Zinc metal

   • Litmus solution (Blue or Red)

Experiment 2:

1. To perform and observe the following reactions:

   • Decomposition reaction

   • Double displacement reaction

   • Displacement reaction

   • Combination reaction

     • Iron nails kept in copper sulphate solution

     • Action of heat on ferrous sulphate crystals

     • Reaction between sodium sulphate and barium chloride solutions

     • Action of water on quicklime

Experiment 3:

• To observe the action of aluminium, zinc, copper and iron metals on the below-given solutions.

  • FeSO₄(aq)

  • Al₂ (SO4)₃(aq)

  • CuSO₄(aq)

  • ZnSO₄(aq)

Based on the above results, all the metals should be arranged in decreasing order of reactivity.

Experiment 4:

To experimentally show that carbon dioxide is given out during respiration.

Experiment 5:

To determine the focal length of the following by obtaining distant images:

• Convex lens

• Concave mirror

Experiment 6:

To trace the path of a ray of light passing through a rectangular glass slab, for different angles of incidence. To measure the angle of incidence, angle of refraction, angle of emergence, and interpret the result.

Experiment 7:

To trace the path of the rays of light through a glass prism.

Term 2:

Experiment 1:

To study the dependence of potential differences across a resistor on the current passing through it and to determine its resistance. The graph between the potential difference and current should also be plotted.

Experiment 2:

Study the following with the help of prepared slides:

• Binary fission in Amoeba
• Budding in yeast and Hydra
