About the Book

I take sincere pride in presenting Gateway to Science—Biology for Class 10, written strictly according to the NCERT Textbook and the latest rationalised Syllabus and Examination Pattern prescribed by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), New Delhi. It has been crafted with the needs of both students and teachers in mind.

Biology, the study of living organisms and life processes, plays a vital role in helping students appreciate the complexity and interconnectedness of life. A systematic learning approach—incorporating drawing, labelling, detailed explanations, and hands-on experimentation—transforms study into a joyful journey of discovery.
