The CBSE Class 9 Science Syllabus 2025-26 has been developed based on the latest NCERT textbooks, (as categorized) in accordance with the NCF 2023 and NEP 2020. With an experiential and inquiry-based look to it, it will also create analytical and problem-solving abilities in your students. It has the contents (essentially) in: physics, chemistry, biology, and environmental science. There are several aspects covered in the content, some of which are: the study of motion, the study of atoms and molecules, the diversity of living organisms and classification, the study of the environment, natural resources and also water and air, and finally, bacteria, viruses and diseases (and how they influence us + some methods of protecting ourselves). They also use some fun activities, examples they best relate to and real life connections (like lab work, etc.) to get their learners to want to explore and discover scientific concepts, explore the environment as they experiment, and create connections between science and their daily lives. This Leveled Class Science curriculum has, and will, create a strong conceptual concept development within the subject matter, develop further a strong scientific temperament within students, study a deeper awareness of their own environmental awareness, and also create an open mind to new found opportunities.
