The following topics are included in the syllabus but will be assessed only formatively to reinforce understanding without adding to summative assessments. The reduces academic stress while ensuring meaningful learning. Schools can integrate these with existing chapters as they align well. Relevant NCERT textual material is enclosed for reference.

A. List of Experiments
1. Study and describe locally available common flowering plants, from family
Solanaceae (Poaceae, Asteraceae or Brassicaceae can be substituted in case of
particular geographical location) including dissection and display of floral whorls,
anther and ovary to show number of chambers (floral formulae and floral
diagrams), type of root (tap and adventitious); type of stem (herbaceous and
woody); leaf (arrangement, shape, venation, simple and compound).
2. Preparation and study of T.S. of dicot and monocot roots and stems (primary).
3. Study of osmosis by potato osmometer.
4. Study of plasmolysis in epidermal peels (e.g. Rhoeo/lily leaves or flashy scale
leaves of onion bulb).
5. Study of distribution of stomata on the upper and lower surfaces of leaves.
6. Comparative study of the rates of transpiration in the upper and lower surfaces of leaves.
7. Test for the presence of sugar, starch, proteins and fats in suitable plant and
animal materials.
8. Separation of plant pigments through paper chromatography.
9. Study of the rate of respiration in flower buds/leaf tissue and germinating seeds.
10.Test for presence of urea in urine.
11.Test for presence of sugar in urine.
12.Test for presence of albumin in urine.
13.Test for presence of bile salts in urine.
