Respected Sir/Madam, I am the student of class 10th, studying from GSEB School. I haven’t informed about the syllabus of Science & Technology and my new session will start after a month. So, I want to know about the syllabus of this particular subject.

The syllabus for Science & Technology subject in 10th GSEB Board examination is as follows:

Unit 1: Chemical Substances-Nature and Behaviour
- Chemical reactions: types of chemical reactions, balancing chemical equations
- Acids, bases and salts: their properties and reactions
- Metals and non-metals: their physical and chemical properties, reactivity series
- Carbon compounds: covalent bonding in carbon compounds (examples: ethanol, ethanoic acid)

Unit 2: World of Living
- Life processes: nutrition, respiration, transportation, excretion
- Control and coordination: nervous system, hormones, plant hormones
- Reproduction: asexual and sexual reproduction, reproductive health
