Grade 10 — Term 1
Aligned with NIE syllabus
This term in the Idasara Academy app has 3 lessons (NIE Units 2, 5, 7). For each lesson, this page gives you the points you must know and one exam-style question with its answer. None of it needs an account.
Is this what my class is doing now?
Maybe not. The Idasara app groups lessons into its own terms, and your school may teach them in a different order. Where we know a lesson's NIE unit, it is shown on the lesson. Find the unit your class is on, and start there.
Lessons in This Term
Matter, Elements and Compounds
NIE Unit 7
What you must know
- Periodic table arranged by increasing atomic number
- Elements in the same group have the same valence electrons → similar properties
- Matter states: solid (fixed shape/volume), liquid (fixed volume), gas (neither fixed)
- State changes involve energy exchange — not chemical change
Acids, Bases and the pH Scale
NIE Unit 5
What you must know
- HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O (key equation)
- Indicators: litmus (red=acid, blue=alkali), universal indicator, phenolphthalein
- Stomach acid: pH ~2 (HCl); baking soda: pH ~8–9
- Strong acids: HCl, H₂SO₄, HNO₃; weak acids: citric, acetic
Plant and Animal Cells
NIE Unit 2
What you must know
- Cell membrane: selectively permeable; controls entry/exit
- Plant extras: cell wall (rigidity), chloroplasts (photosynthesis), central vacuole
- Osmosis: water movement from high → low water potential across semi-permeable membrane
- Mitosis: 2 identical diploid daughter cells (growth/repair)
- Meiosis: 4 haploid gametes (reproduction/variation)

What does it cost?
I already go to a Science tuition class
Then you are paying for Science by the subject. Whether an Idasara plan would cost you less depends on how many classes you go to, so put in your own numbers.
