Science 212 has the most lessons of the Class 10 subjects on this site (32), and it has a practical. The 19 exam lessons lean on chemistry (5–8), forces and energy (10–17) and life processes (22–25). If you are choosing a study centre, the useful question is whether it offers science, because the practical is done there. Many centres don’t. Keep the practical record up to date as you go.
