The Biology Practical Notebook for Class 10 is an essential resource for Matric students preparing for their board examinations. The aim of this notebook is to explore the role of practical work in learning Biology at the school level. It includes comprehensive introductions for each topic, clear principles, and facts designed to give a deeper insight into natural processes.
Key Features:
Updated Syllabus: Aligned with the latest requirements for all Punjab and Federal Boards.
Comprehensive Content: Includes interesting facts, mind twisters, and clear experiment guidelines.
Visual Learning: Features diagrams and charts to help distinguish between smoker and non-smoker lungs, kidney structure, and more.
