CBSE Class 9 Science Syllabus 2023-24

CBSE Science Syllabus Class 9 Term (1 & 2) 2023-24 Exam

The subject of Science plays an important role in developing well-defined abilities in cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains in children. It augments the spirit of enquiry, creativity, objectivity and aesthetic sensibility 

At this stage, while science is still a common subject, the disciplines of Physics, Chemistry and Biology begin to emerge. The students should be exposed to experiences based on hands-on activities as well as modes of reasoning that are typical of the subject.

The CBSE CLASS 9 SCIENCE SYLLABUS has been designed around seven broad themes viz. Food; Materials; The World of the Living; How Things Work; Moving Things, People and Ideas; Natural Phenomenon and Natural Resources

Students will have the opportunity to create a strong foundation for their understanding of complex scientific concepts if they thoroughly study the topics that are included in the CBSE 9 SCIENCE SYLLABUS.

The CBSE has released the CLASS 9 SCIENCE SYLLABUS for the year 2022.. Before starting the preparation for the science exam , students are required to review the entire curriculum. This will help students get comprehensive information regarding the examination, including the chapter list, and the weightage of each individual unit. Students can access the syllabus from the website of Extramarks.

An Overview of the CBSE Class 9 Science Syllabus

In order to facilitate learning, the whole CBSE Science syllabus for Class 9 has been split into two terms: Term 1 and Term 2. Each of the two terms will cover fifty percent of the total course content. The first exam will be objective, while the second exam will be a mix of objective and subjective questions.

SCIENCE

(Code No. 086) Classes: IX and X (2022-23)

The subject of Science plays an important role in developing well-defined abilities in cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains in children. It augments the spirit of enquiry, creativity, objectivity and aesthetic sensibility.

Upper primary stage demands that a number of opportunities should be provided to the students to engage them with the processes of Science like observing, recording observations, drawing, tabulation, plotting graphs, etc., whereas the secondary stage also expects abstraction and quantitative reasoning to occupy a more central place in the teaching and learning of Science. Thus, the idea of atoms and molecules being the building blocks of matter makes its appearance,as does Newton’s law of gravitation.

The present syllabus has been designed around seven broad themes viz. Food; Materials; The World of The Living; How Things Work; Moving Things, People and Ideas; Natural Phenomenon and Natural Resources. Special care has been taken to avoid temptation of adding too many concepts than can be comfortably learnt in the given time frame. No attempt has been made to be comprehensive.

At this stage, while Science is still a common subject, the disciplines of Physics, Chemistry and Biology begin to emerge. The students should be exposed to experiences based on hands on activities as well as modes of reasoning that are typical of the subject.

General Instructions:

  1. There will be an Annual Examination based on the entire
  2. The Annual Examination will be of 80 marks and 20 marks weightage shall be for Internal

    1. There will be Periodic Assessment that would include:
      • For 5 marks- Three periodic tests conducted by the school. Average of the best two tests to be taken that will have a weightage of 05 marks towards the final

These may include – short tests, oral test, quiz, concept maps, projects, posters, presentations and enquiry based scientific investigations etc. and use rubrics for arguing them objectively. This will also have a weightage of 05 marks towards the final
    2. Practical / Laboratory work should be done throughout the year and the student should maintain record of the same. Practical Assessment should be continuous. There will be weightage of 5 marks towards the final result. All practicals listed in the syllabus must be
    3. Portfolio to be prepared by the student- This would include classwork and other sample of student work and will carry a weightage of 5 marks towards the final
