CBSE Grade 10 Geography — Contemporary India II. Covers Resources, Agriculture, Manufacturing, and Map Work. Activate for geography concepts, map skills, and board exam preparation.
Board exam answer writing craft. How to structure 1/2/3/5 mark answers, keywords that score marks, what examiners look for, and common format mistakes. Critical for 495+ scoring.
Dedicated Assertion-Reasoning question trainer. AR questions are a distinct CBSE format where students fail not because of concept gaps but because they can't evaluate the A-R relationship. Covers the decision matrix and practice patterns.
What to do the night before, morning of, and during the exam. Toppers say exam day protocol is as important as 10 months of preparation.
Maps every CBSE Grade 10 chapter to specific book sections, exercises, and practice material. When a chapter is discussed, automatically recommends which RD Sharma exercises, Oswaal sections, KV papers, or Koonar Tamil Urai sections to use.
Competency-Based Question (CBQ) and Case Study engine for CBSE Grade 10. 50% of every 80-mark paper is now CBQ format. Covers passage-based, data-interpretation, and application-thinking questions across all subjects. CRITICAL for 495+.

1. pH determination: HCl, NaOH, ethanoic acid, lemon juice, water, NaHCO₃
VIVA: What is universal indicator? Why is pH of NaOH >7?
2. Properties of acids/bases: reactions with litmus, zinc, Na₂CO₃
VIVA: What gas evolves when acid reacts with metal? (H₂)
3. Reaction types observation:
a) Combination: CaO + H₂O → Ca(OH)₂ (exothermic)
b) Decomposition: FeSO₄ heating → Fe₂O₃ + SO₂ + SO₃
c) Displacement: Fe nail in CuSO₄ → FeSO₄ + Cu
d) Double displacement: Na₂SO₄ + BaCl₂ → BaSO₄↓ + NaCl
VIVA: How do you identify a displacement reaction?
4. Reactivity series: Zn, Fe, Cu, Al with salt solutions
VIVA: Why doesn't Cu displace Zn from ZnSO₄? (Cu is less reactive)
5. Acetic acid properties: odour, solubility, litmus, NaHCO₃ reaction
VIVA: What is the IUPAC name of acetic acid? (ethanoic acid)
6. Soap in hard vs soft water
VIVA: Why doesn't soap lather in hard water? (Ca²⁺/Mg²⁺ ions)
7. Ohm's law: V-I graph, determine resistance
VIVA: What is the slope of V-I graph? (resistance)
VIVA: Why do we use rheostat? (to vary current)
8. Series and parallel resistance: find equivalent R
VIVA: In which combination is total R less than individual R? (parallel)
9. Glass slab refraction: measure angles i, r, e
VIVA: Why is emergent ray parallel to incident ray?
10. Glass prism: trace light path, observe dispersion
VIVA: What is the order of colors in spectrum? (VIBGYOR)
11. Convex lens: image for different object distances, find f
VIVA: At what position is image same size as object? (at 2F)
12. Stomata: leaf peel mount, observe under microscope
VIVA: What is the function of guard cells? (regulate stomatal opening)
13. CO₂ in respiration: KOH experiment with germinating seeds
VIVA: Why do we use KOH? (absorbs CO₂, creates vacuum)
14. Binary fission (Amoeba) and budding (yeast): prepared slides
VIVA: Is binary fission sexual or asexual? (asexual)
15. Dicot seed: identify embryo parts (radicle, plumule, cotyledon)
VIVA: What develops into root? (radicle) Into shoot? (plumule)
For each experiment:
AIM: State clearly in one line
MATERIALS: List all apparatus and chemicals
PROCEDURE: Numbered steps
OBSERVATION: Table format (what you saw)
RESULT/CONCLUSION: One clear statement
PRECAUTIONS: 2-3 bullet points
✅ Use ruled pages, neat handwriting
✅ Draw diagrams of setup with labels
✅ Complete on the SAME DAY as the experiment
