બોર્ડ આદર્શ ઉત્તરવહી : વિજ્ઞાન
This textbook of Science for Class X is a continuation of
our attempt in the Class IX Science textbook to comply with the guidelines of
the National Curriculum Framework-2005. We had to work within a limited time
frame and also had our own constraints coming in the way of this radical
change.
The revised and re-structured syllabus for Class X covers
selected topics in the broad themes of— Materials, The World of the Living, How
Things Work, Natural Phenomena and Natural Resources. We have interpreted the
syllabus to present a coherent coverage of scientific concepts related to our
daily life on the select topics.
It is an integrated approach to science at this level,
with no sharp divisions into disciplines such as Physics, Chemistry, Biology
and Environmental Science. There has been a conscious attempt to address the
relevant social concerns in this science textbook wherever possible — the
concerns for people with special needs, the issues of gender discrimination,
energy and environment have found their natural place in this book.
