Home Science is a subject that is deeply rooted in everyday life. It is the science of the home, the family, and the individual — a discipline that combines knowledge from nutrition, health, hygiene, child development, fabric and clothing, and resource management to help individuals lead a balanced, fulfilling, and productive life.
This textbook has been thoughtfully prepared in accordance with the latest ICSE Class 10 syllabus, with the aim of making Home Science accessible, engaging, and meaningful for every student. The content has been presented in simple, clear language, supported by diagrams, illustrations, and real-life examples that connect classroom learning to daily living.
Each chapter is structured to build conceptual clarity, beginning with core definitions and progressing to practical applications. Key terms, summary points, and examination-oriented questions have been carefully included to help students prepare confidently for their Board Examinations.
Home Science is not merely a subject — it is a life skill. Whether it is understanding the nutritional value of food, managing household resources wisely, caring for a child, or selecting the right fabric for clothing, every lesson in this book has a direct and practical relevance to the world around you.
We believe that a student who masters Home Science carries knowledge that goes far beyond the examination hall — into their homes, their families, and their communities.
It is our sincere hope that this book becomes a trusted guide and a source of inspiration for every student who reads it.
We welcome suggestions and feedback from teachers and students for the continuous improvement of this publication.
