Syllabus For Class 9 Science Cbse
Theme: Materials
Unit I: Matter-Nature and Behaviour
Definition of matter; solid, liquid and gas; characteristics - shape, volume, density; change of state
melting (absorption of heat), freezing, evaporation (cooling by evaporation), condensation,
sublimation.
Nature of matter: Elements, compounds and mixtures. Heterogeneous and homogenous mixtures,
colloids and suspensions. Physical and chemical changes (excluding separating the components of a
mixture).
Particle nature and their basic units: Atoms and molecules, Law of Chemical Combination, Chemical
formula of common compounds, Atomic and molecular masses.
Structure of atoms: Electrons, protons and neutrons, Valency, Atomic Number and Mass Number,
Isotopes and Isobars.
Tissues, Organs, Organ System, Organism: Structure and functions of animal and plant tissues (only
four types of tissues in animals; Meristematic and Permanent tissues in plants).
Sound: Nature of sound and its propagation in various media, speed of sound, range of hearing in
humans; ultrasound; reflection of sound; echo.
Theme: Food
Unit IV: Food Production
Plant and animal breeding and selection for quality improvement and management; Use of fertilizers
and manures; Protection from pests and diseases; Organic farming.
PRACTICALS
Practicals should be conducted alongside the concepts taught in theory classes.
(LIST OF EXPERIMENTS)
1. Preparation of: Unit-I
a) a true solution of common salt, sugar and alum
b) a suspension of soil, chalk powder and fine sand in water
c) a colloidal solution of starch in water and egg albumin/milk in water and distinguishbetween these
