2. To detect presence of sugar in urine/any other liquid sample.
3. Test the presence of sugar in a given food stuff and write the test.
4. Test the presence of starch in the given food stuff and write the test.
5. Test the presence of fat in the given food stuff and write the test.
6. Test the presence of protein in the given food stuff and write the test.
7. Identify and comment on any two of the following from speciments/slides/picture/models;
(a) Deficiency diseases.
(b) Pest of food grain.
(c) Common vector (Specifying the role in transmission)
Guidelines to Science Practical for High School Leaving Certificate Examination are given below :
A school should have a room where science Practical Classes can be conducted. All the required chemicals and equipment as given in the prescribed text-book will be kept in the room.
(a) Size of the room (minimum) 20ft X 20ft.
(b) Working table (minimum) 8ft. X 3ft or 4ft X 3ft (2 nos)
(c) Almirah for storing chemical & equipments.
This type of Laboratory serves the purpose of both practical as well as theoretical work. The Size of the laboratory can be varied according to the number of students in he class. A wall black-board may be provided towards the demonstration side. Regular supply of water in the laboratory during the practical periods can be done by providing small drums or buckets with stop-cock by the side of the sink and filled regularly. Apparatuses, reagents, bottles etc. can be stored in the almirahs having shelving accommodation placed outwards so that inner window sills can be modified as continuation of selves. Common reagents for pupils may be placed on the side selves.
Science Practical will have one period per week and every student will have the facility of doing all the experiments. Internal assessment for science practical under CCE will be taken during the practical classes.
3. Practical :
The Examination for Science Practical for the HSLC Examination will be conducted by the respective schools on the basis of the following distribution of marks.
| Sl. No. | Units | Marks |
| (a) | Laboratory Note – Book | 3 |
| (i)Recording of Expts. In proper way | 1 | |
| (ii)Regularity in submitting record book | 1 | |
| (iii)General Neatness | 1 | |
| (b) | Viva Voce | 4 |
| (i)Principle, Basic Concept, Formulae | 1 | |
| (ii)Procedure of the Experiment | 1 | |
| (iii)Application | 1 | |
| (iv) Precaution | 1 | |
| (c) | Experimental Exercises. | 8 |
| (i)Theory | 2 | |
| (ii)Setting/Handling of apparatus | 3 | |
| (iii)Observation/Identification | 2 | |
| (iv)Result/Interpretation | 1 |
The marks secured by the students in the Science Practical Examination will be sent up in the statement of candidates by the schools along with answer khatas of the Science Practical Examination at the time of the submission of application forms for the examination. Schools should keep the marks confidential. The laboratory Note-Book will be returned by the schools to the students after evaluation.
For External/Supplementary candidates the students must perform/attend at least10 experiments (practical classes). Practical Examination for them will be conducted along with regular students
I. Instructions to the candidates (General)
(a) Candidates should bring their laboratory not-book with them on the very day of examination and should submit them for assessment by the examiner.
(b) Students are not a allowed to consult books/notes during the examination.
(c) Candidates should write the questions first clearly in their answer books
(d) The student has to perform one experiment.
(a) Question for the examination should be pasted on a card of suitable size.
(b) A student is allowed to draw two cards at a time by lot, out of which one card is to be selected for the practical examination. If the questions is the two cards are found difficult by the candidate, another chance to draw two cards out of the remaining will be given to select his/her favorite question. But one mark will be deducted in such cases.
(c) Number of pasted cards prepared should exceed the number of students in the group, by 10 (ten)
(d) Scheme of Science Practical Examination (Internal)
| class : | X | Time : | 90 Minutes |
| Subject : | Science | Full Marks : | 15 |
| Paper: | IV(Practical) | Pass Marks : | 6 |
The Practical Record Book (or Laboratory Note Book) is necessary to keep a record of all experiments you have performed in Science Practical Classes. This carries marks and has to be produced in the Board Examination. A good note book containing a neat and clean work creates a very good first impression of the student on the examiner. Utmost care should, therefore, be taken while writing laboratory notes. The following points may be kept in mind in order to maintain an ideal record.
1. Only a bound hard cover note-book should be used.
2. Write your name, class and school in the center of the first page
3. The pages in the note-book should be numbered consecutively from the front
4. Keep a table of contents (index)up-to-date.
5. Commence the account of every new experiment on a fresh page.
6. Put down the date on which the experiment is performed at the top of the page. Below it, write the Experiment Number and Name of the Experiment. Use the right hand page for the write-up of the experiment and observations while the calculations and diagrams or sketches of apparatuses be note on the left hand side.
7. All data should entered directly into the laboratory note-book and not on any loose piece of paper.
8. Use “I”, not “We “ or “You” in the write –up experiment. You can even drop “I” for brevity. You may write as, “ Recorded the level of water in the graduated cylinder “.
9. Make all entries in the note-book in ink only.
10. Mistakes if any should be crossed with a single line and the correct value recorded directly as given below :
| 1 | 2 | 3 | |
| Initial Reading | 7.2 | 7.2 | |
| Final Reading | 10.1 | 10.1 | 10.2 |
11. Wherever possible, tabulate data. Tables are easily read and concluded.
12. Get your record signed by the teacher regularly.
