Maharashtra SSC Class 10 Science Board Sample Question Papers

Maharashtra SSC Class 10 Science Science is a boundless subject based on experimentation, observation, theories and factual information. It involves observing a series of action, formulating theories, making experiments to check the reliability of the theory and finally declaring results. Science is a practical as well as theoretical subject. The subject is based on logic hence the students must understand the text instead of rote learning it.

Science in Class 10 is a multidisciplinary subject. It comprises of three disciplines namely, Physics, Chemistry and Biology. The three subjects being empirical in nature requires the students to be thorough with the concepts. The students must practice numerical in Physics, chemical equations in Chemistry and diagrams in Biology. It is very important for the students to have look at the different varieties of questions asked in not only the board exams but also other school exams.
