ANTHE Class 10 syllabus 2026-27
Physics
- Light - Reflection and Refraction: Learn the laws of reflection and refraction, image formation by spherical mirrors and lenses, the mirror and lens formulae, magnification, refractive index and power of a lens.
- Human Eye and the Colourful World: Study how the human eye forms images, defects of vision and how they are corrected, refraction through a prism, dispersion of light, scattering, and everyday effects such as the rainbow and the blue sky.
- Electricity: Learn electric current, potential difference, Ohm's law and resistance. Solve series and parallel circuits and study the heating effect of current and electric power.
Chemistry
- Chemical Reactions and Equations: Write and balance chemical equations. Learn the types of reactions: combination, decomposition, displacement, double displacement, oxidation and reduction, and the effects of corrosion and rancidity.
- Acids, Bases and Salts: Learn the properties of acids and bases, how indicators and the pH scale work, and the preparation and uses of common salts such as NaCl, baking soda, washing soda and bleaching powder.
- Metals and Non-metals: Compare the physical and chemical properties of metals and non-metals, use the reactivity series, and learn how ionic compounds form and how metals are extracted and protected from corrosion.
Biology (Medical stream)
- Life Processes: Nutrition: Study how living things take in and use food: autotrophic and heterotrophic nutrition, photosynthesis and the human digestive system.
- Life Processes: Respiration: Compare aerobic and anaerobic respiration and study the human respiratory system and how oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged.
- Life Processes: Transportation: Study the human heart, blood vessels and blood, double circulation, and how water, minerals and food are carried in plants.
- Life Processes: Excretion: Learn how plants and animals remove wastes, the human excretory system, the working of the kidney and nephron, and dialysis.
- Control and Coordination: Study the nervous system, neurons, reflex action and the brain, and the main hormones with the glands that make them. Learn how plants respond to stimuli.
- How do Organisms Reproduce?: Compare asexual and sexual reproduction, including fission, budding and regeneration. Study reproduction in flowering plants and humans, and why variation matters.
Mathematics (Engineering stream)
- Real Numbers: Use Euclid's division lemma and the fundamental theorem of arithmetic, find HCF and LCM by prime factorisation, and prove that numbers such as the square root of 2 are irrational.
- Polynomials: Learn zeros of a polynomial and the link between zeros and coefficients for quadratic and cubic polynomials. Read the zeros from graphs.
- Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables: Solve pairs of linear equations by graphs, substitution and elimination, decide when they have one, many or no solutions, and solve word problems.
- Quadratic Equations: Solve quadratic equations by factorisation and the quadratic formula, use the discriminant to find the nature of roots, and solve word problems.
- Arithmetic Progressions: Learn the general term and the sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic progression, and use them in word problems.
- Coordinate Geometry: Use the distance formula and the section formula to find distances, mid-points and points that divide a line in a ratio, and find the area of a triangle from coordinates.
- Triangles: Study similar triangles, the basic proportionality theorem, criteria for similarity and the Pythagoras theorem, with simple proofs and numerical problems.
- Introduction to Trigonometry: Learn the trigonometric ratios, their values for standard angles, and the basic identities.
- Some Applications of Trigonometry: Use angles of elevation and depression and trigonometric ratios to find heights and distances.
Mental Ability
- Series: Find the next term in number, letter and mixed series by spotting the rule, including alternating and multi-step patterns.
- Analogy: Find the pair of words, numbers or letters that shares the same relationship as a given pair.
- Classification: Spot the odd one out in a group of words, numbers or letters by finding what the others have in common.
- Coding and Decoding: Crack letter, number and symbol codes by finding the rule, then use it to code or decode a new word or number.
- Logical and Analytical Reasoning: Solve seating and arrangement puzzles and draw conclusions from statements, using clues carefully.
- Problems Based on Figures: Solve picture-based puzzles such as counting shapes, finding hidden figures, mirror and water images and paper folding.
- Data Interpretation: Read tables, bar graphs and pie charts and use the data to answer questions and make comparisons.
