General Guidelines

  • The practical examination will be of two hour duration. A separate list of ten experiments is included
  • The written examination in practicals for these students will be conducted at the time of practical examination of all other
  • The written test will be of 30 minutes
  • The question paper given to the students should be legibly typed. It should contain a total of 15 practical skill based very short answer type questions. A student would be required to answer any 10
  • A writer may be allowed to such students as per CBSE examination
  • All questions included in the question paper should be related to the listed practicals. Every question should require about two minutes to be
  • These students are also required to maintain a practical file. A student is expected to record at least five of the listed experiments as per the specific instructions for each subject. These practicals should be duly checked and signed by the internal
  • The format of writing any experiment in the practical file should include aim, apparatus required, simple theory, procedure, related practical skills, precautions
  • Questions may be generated jointly by the external/internal examiners and used for assessment.
  • The viva questions may include questions based on basic theory / principle / concept, apparatus / materials / chemicals required, procedure, precautions, sources of error

 

Class XII

 

  1. Items for Identification/ familiarity with the apparatus for assessment in practicals (All experiments)
    • Soil from different sites- sandy, clayey, loamy; Small potted plants, Cactus/Opuntia (model), Large flowers, Maize
    • Model of Ascaris and developmental stages of frog highlighting morula and blastula.
    • Beaker, flask, petri plates, test tubes, aluminium foil, paint brush, bunsen burner/spirit lamp/water bath.
    • Starch solution, iodine, ice

 

A.       List of Practicals

  1. Study of the soil obtained from at least two different sites for their
  2. Study of flowers adapted to pollination by different agencies (wind, insects).
  3. Identification of T.S of morula or blastula of frog (model).
  4. Preparation of pedigree charts of genetic traits such as rolling of tongue, colour
  5. Identify common disease causing organisms like Ascaris (Model) and learn some common symptoms of the disease that they
  6. Comment upon the morphological adaptations of plants found in xerophytic

 

Note: The above practicals may be carried out in an experiential manner rather than recording observations.
