    Correction: I have been working through the textbook and the solution for Exercise 1-1 question 3 makes a statement which is incorrect; a compound with the molecular formula C4H10 can not only be represented in the two ways shown. This statement is only true if you limit the representation to single bonds, or specify that it is an alkane; it is possible to represent the same compound in different ways using double or triple bonds.

      Banele, that doesn’t help much I’m afraid. Please be more specific as to what problem you are having so that we can assist further. Are you receiving an error message? Does the file download? What happens when you double-click on it?

    Hi Adrian,
    I wasn’t sure how to contact you but it has been brought to our attention that the link to the Afrikaans Grade 10 Science book doesn’t work. Teacher’s and learners can find the books here: http://everythingscience.co.za/grade-10

    Our books are now also available over Mxit: http://projects.siyavula.com/blog/2012/07/10/everything-maths-and-everything-science-available-on-mxit/ which I think it pretty great :)

    Thanks!

    Thanks a million for the free textbooks as it helps with the notes given to learners as summaries and I have more time to do applications. I use the grade 10,11 & 12 Science English and Afrikaans versions – really reduces my translation. Will the teachers guides for Grade 11 and 12 still be made available? Much appreciated
