ICSE Class 10 Science
Our ICSE Class 10 Science course follows the CISCE syllabus: physics (force, work, energy and power, machines, refraction, lenses, sound, electricity, magnetism, calorimetry and radioactivity), chemistry (periodic properties, bonding, acids, bases and salts, analytical chemistry, mole concept, electrolysis, metallurgy and organic chemistry) and biology (cell cycle, genetics, plant physiology, human anatomy and physiology, and population). Lessons are live and one-to-one with a verified subject teacher, who explains each concept clearly, works through textbook and specimen-paper questions with you and shows you how CISCE examiners award marks. It prepares you fully for the ICSE board exam. Suitable for students in India and at CISCE schools abroad, with lesson times in IST.

What is ICSE Class 10 Science?
In short: this course gives one-to-one online tutoring for ICSE Class 10 Science. A verified tutor explains every chapter, works through textbook exercises and sample-paper questions step by step, and builds the exam technique you need for the board exam.
ICSE Class 10 Science is assessed by CISCE as three separate papers: Physics (Science Paper 1), Chemistry (Science Paper 2) and Biology (Science Paper 3). Each has its own board exam at the end of Class 10 plus internal assessment of practical work.
This course prepares you one to one for all three papers with verified science tutors.
How is ICSE Class 10 Science assessed?
ICSE Class 10 Science follows the CISCE (ICSE) syllabus. Class 10 ends with the board examination, set by CISCE, alongside internal or practical assessment where the subject includes it. Marks, durations and question types can change from year to year, so check the current CISCE regulations and syllabus for your exam year. Tutors follow the textbook chapters your school teaches and practise the question styles in recent sample papers.
Which topics are in each ICSE Class 10 Science paper?
| Paper | Key topics |
|---|---|
| Physics | Force, work, power and energy; machines; refraction of light at plane surfaces and lenses; spectrum; sound; current electricity; household circuits; electromagnetism; calorimetry; radioactivity |
| Chemistry | Periodic properties; chemical bonding; acids, bases and salts; analytical chemistry; mole concept and stoichiometry; electrolysis; metallurgy; study of compounds (hydrogen chloride, ammonia, nitric acid, sulphuric acid); organic chemistry |
| Biology | Cell cycle and genetics; absorption by roots, transpiration, photosynthesis; chemical coordination in plants; circulatory, excretory, nervous and endocrine systems; sense organs; reproductive system; population; pollution |
How do you score high in ICSE Science?
- Physics: learn definitions and SI units exactly, and practise numericals with ray diagrams.
- Chemistry: learn balanced equations, observations and tests for ions and gases.
- Biology: draw labelled diagrams and use precise terminology.
- In each science paper, answer the compulsory Section I short questions quickly and accurately (40 marks).
- In Section II, choose the four questions out of six that you can answer fully (40 marks).
- Solve specimen and previous years' papers for each subject.
What does a worked science question look like?
Here is a typical electricity question: a 12 V battery is connected to a 4 Ω resistor. Find the current and the power.
| Step | Working |
|---|---|
| Current (Ohm's law) | I = V ÷ R = 12 ÷ 4 = 3 A |
| Power | P = V × I = 12 × 3 = 36 W |
Where do students lose marks in ICSE Class 10 Science?
Students most often lose marks through the habits below. Each is easy to fix with regular practice and feedback.
| Mark-loser | What to do instead |
|---|---|
| Units missing | Write units with every answer |
| Unbalanced equations | Balance chemical equations |
| Diagrams unlabelled | Label diagrams neatly |
| Vague answers | Use precise scientific terms |
| Skipping NCERT activities | Understand the activities and their results |
Textbooks, specimen papers and exam technique
CISCE examiners reward precise answers, correct terminology and neat, well-labelled working. Tutors use your school's textbooks, the CISCE specimen papers and previous years' papers, and teach you to write answers that match the marks allotted.
How the lessons work
Lessons are live and one to one on video with a shared whiteboard, at times that suit students in India and abroad. Your tutor follows the latest CISCE syllabus and your school's schedule. See also ICSE Class 9 Science, ICSE Class 10 Mathematics and CBSE Class 10 Science.
