Want to score high in Karnataka SSLC Science? Learn how to master diagrams, experiments, and key concepts with these smart tips from 9WayPublications.
For many SSLC students, Science is one of the most scoring yet intimidating subjects. With both theory and application, it requires more than just memorization. And one major area where students often lose marks? Diagrams and experiments.
At 9WayPublications, we’ve helped thousands of students simplify Science through carefully designed chapter-wise question banks, visual learning aids, and exam-aligned practice material.
In this blog, we’ll break down a foolproof strategy to help you score full marks in the diagram and experiment sections of your SSLC Science exam.
🧪 Why Diagrams and Experiments Matter
In the Karnataka SSLC Science paper, at least 15–20 marks are based on diagrams, labeling, and experiment-related questions.
Common examples:
Human digestive system
Ray diagrams (lenses, mirrors)
Electrical circuits
Experiment setup for testing acidity
Rusting of iron, reactions, and apparatuses
These marks are free marks — if you present them neatly and correctly.
✅ Step-by-Step Strategy to Master Science Diagrams
✏️ 1. Start With a Chapter-Wise Diagram List
Go through your Science textbook and make a list of all labeled diagrams in each chapter.
Popular ones include:
Refraction of light (Convex/Concave Lens)
Human Respiratory System
Magnetic field lines around a bar magnet
Electric circuit diagrams
Food chain pyramid
✅ 9WayPublications’ Science book already includes this list — subject-wise and chapter-wise!
📌 2. Practice Drawing Daily — Not Just Watching
Don’t just look at diagrams and move on.
Actively draw them by hand on plain or ruled paper. This:
Improves recall
Makes your drawing faster
Builds muscle memory
Even if you’re bad at drawing — clarity + correct labeling > artistic skill.
🧷 3. Learn Standard Labeling Formats
Here’s what the examiner looks for:
Arrows pointing accurately
Neat, readable handwriting
Standard scientific terms (avoid local names)
Example: Don’t write “food pipe” — write “Esophagus.”
HOT TIP: Use CAPITAL LETTERS while labeling for clarity.
🧠 4. Use Mnemonics to Remember Steps in Experiments
Some experiments require remembering steps, apparatus names, precautions.
Use mnemonics or short stories.
For example:
To remember the reaction test for acids with metals:
“MASH” = Metal + Acid → Salt + Hydrogen
⏱ 5. Time Yourself for Exam Practice
You’ll have limited time in the actual exam. So:
Draw at least 2 diagrams every day under 5–6 minutes
Time your labeling separately
Keep a margin in your notebook for neatness
This is exactly how 9Way’s model papers simulate real exam pressure.
🧾 6. Create a Visual Revision Wall
Take printouts or use sticky notes with rough sketches of all key diagrams and pin them to:
Your study wall
Cupboard
Bathroom mirror!
Daily exposure boosts visual memory.
💯 7. Revise Last-Minute With Focused Booklets
Avoid heavy reading before exams. Instead:
Use quick-revision guides
Refer to 9WayPublications’ last-minute Science summary section
Only focus on labeled diagrams and step-based experiment procedures
❌ Common Mistakes to Avoid
Messy or unaligned arrows in labeling
Wrong spelling in scientific terms
Skipping drawing scale/graph when asked
Not practicing diagrams beforehand
- Studying only theory, ignoring visual recall
