Punjab PSEB Matric Science study guide
Punjab PSEB Matric Science · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
PSEB Matric Science is the science paper of the Class 10 (Matriculation) examination of the Punjab School Education Board - a board that came into existence through a legislative enactment in November 1969, was granted autonomy by a Vidhan Sabha amendment in 1987, and sits at Vidya Bhawan, Phase-8, SAS Nagar (Mohali). The credential is taken by regular candidates of affiliated schools and by Open School/private candidates, and the theory paper is written in the Annual Examination held in the February/March session. The Punjab PSEB Matric Science study guide has 5 sections and about 1,925 words.
01Chemical Substances: Acids, Bases, Salts, Metals and Carbon Compounds
Chemical Substances is tested through acids, bases, salts, metals and carbon compounds, asking you to recognise formulae, explain reactions and apply mole ratios. Acids give H⁺ ions in water and turn blue litmus red; bases give OH⁻ ions and turn red litmus blue.
374 words, about 2 min02World of Living: Life Processes, Coordination, Reproduction, Heredity and Evolution
The World of Living domain tests life processes, control and coordination, reproduction, and heredity and evolution through descriptive questions, reasoning and genetic crosses. Nutrition may be autotrophic (photosynthesis: 6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ in chloroplasts) or heterotrophic.
385 words, about 2 min03Natural Phenomena: Light, Reflection, Refraction and the Human Eye
Natural Phenomena (light) tests reflection, refraction, mirrors, lenses and the human eye, with numericals and ray-reasoning questions. Light reflects so that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection, and the incident ray, reflected ray and normal lie in one plane.
403 words, about 2 min04Effects of Current: Electricity and Magnetic Effects
Effects of Current covers electricity and magnetic effects, combining circuit numericals with direction rules and device principles. Current I = Q/t, measured in amperes; potential difference V = W/Q, in volts.
404 words, about 2 min05Natural Resources: Management, Environment and Our Environment
Natural Resources tests management of natural resources, environment and our environment, with sustainability, ecosystem and pollution reasoning. Natural resources are renewable (sunlight, wind, water, forests) or non-renewable (coal, petroleum, minerals).
