 Practical Exam 2023 : Science (Biology) Important Practical Based Question with Answers

This article contains some important practical based questions class 10 Science (Biology).  Practical experiments help students to visualise and learn the various concepts of Biology. So, students are advised to prepare as well.

Students should try to score well in the practical exam as it can improve their overall score in the final board examination.
