turning point in student’s life. The present tenth class Science textbook in your
hands is developed in accordance with the National and State Curriculum Framework
and the Right to Education Act. This book helps the student to review various
concepts that were learned through the learning experiences provided in the school
and to get comprehensive knowledge about these conecepts. The lessons in the
textbooks are presented in such way that they help in preparing the student for

competitive examinations and also to prepare him/her for intermediate education.
The new science textbooks are specially designed with suitable pedagogy in
tune with Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) which we are right now
implementing in school education. These textbooks help the teacher to assess
students learning during teaching learning processes. They facilitate effective learning
of various concepts of science in scientific method apart from getting knowledge

about concepts. It is essential to complete the syllabus in the stipulated time as
students have to write the Board Examination in class-10. But don’t forget that
completion of syllabus means making the students understand the concepts and
trying to achieve the learning competencies. It is mandatory on the part of teacher
to implement teaching strategies like, making the student to read the content of

Teacher must take special care to avoid the practice of rote memorisation of
scientific information from guides and question banks.
The classroom teaching of science must be in such a way that it encourages
children to think and work scientifically. Also, it must enhance love towards nature.
Even it should enable to comprehend and appreciate the laws governing the nature

intrinsic principles.High School children possess cognitive capacity of comprehending
the nature and characteristics of the transforming world surrounding them. And
they are able to analyze abstract concepts.
At this level, we cannot quench their sharp thinking capability with the dryteaching
of mere equations and theoretic principles. For that, we should create a learning
environment in the classroom which provides an opportunity for them to apply the

scientific knowledge, explore multiple alternatives in solving problems and establish
new relations.
Scientific learning is not just confined to the four walls of classroom. It has a
definite connection to lab and field as well. Therefore, there is a lot of importance
to field experience/ experiments in science teaching.

Likewise, science teaching should be in such a way that it would help cultivate a
new generation with scientific thinking.
The key aspect of science teaching is to make the children understand the
thinking process of scientists and their efforts behind each discovery. The State
Curriculum Framework- 2011 stated thatchildren should be able to express their
own ideas and opinions on various aspects. These Science Text Books are prepared

to meet the set standards of the SCF and thus assist children in becoming self-
reliant researchers capable of thinking intensely in scientific terms.
The new textbooks are developed to achieve desired academic standards. So
teachers should develop various teaching learning strategies to make their students
to achieve class specific academic standards. We should avoid rote learning methods
for the successful implementation of Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE).
