Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry for Class 9th (9th+Foundation)
Math:
- Number Systems: Covers representation of rational and irrational numbers on the number line, decimal expansions, operations on real numbers, and laws of exponents .
- Algebra: Introduces polynomials in one variable, zeros of a polynomial, remainder theorem, algebraic identities, and the solution/graph of linear equations in two variables .
- Coordinate Geometry: Explores the Cartesian system, plotting points in a coordinate plane, and writing coordinates of a given point .
- Geometry: Includes Euclid’s axioms and postulates, properties of lines, angles, triangle congruence criteria, quadrilateral properties, and circle theorems .
- Mensuration: Focuses on areas of triangles using alongside the surface areas and volumes of standard 3D solids like cubes, cuboids, cylinders, spheres, and cones .
- Statistics & Probability: Deals with the collection and graphical representation of statistical data (bar graphs, histograms) and basic experimental/empirical probability .
Physics
- Motion: Distance and displacement, velocity, uniform and non-uniform motion along a straight line, acceleration, and distance-time/velocity-time graphs .
- Force and Laws of Motion: Force and inertia, Newton’s first, second, and third laws of motion , momentum, and the law of conservation of momentum.
- Work and Energy: Work done by a force, kinetic and potential energy, power, and the law of conservation of energy.
- Sound: Nature of sound and its propagation in various media, speed of sound, reflection of sound, echo, and the structure of the human ear (basic idea).
Chemistry
- Matter in Our Surroundings: States of matter (solid, liquid, gas), characteristics, shape, volume, density, change of state (melting, freezing, evaporation, condensation, sublimation), and cooling due to evaporation .
- Is Matter Around Us Pure?: Nature of matter as elements, compounds, and mixtures ; heterogeneous and homogeneous mixtures ; colloids and suspensions ; and physical/chemical changes .
- Atoms and Molecules: Laws of chemical combination , atomic and molecular masses , chemical formulas of common compounds , and the mole concept.
- Structure of the Atom: Sub-atomic particles (electrons, protons, neutrons) , Thomson’s, Rutherford’s, and Bohr’s models of an atom , atomic number, mass number , valency , isotopes, and isobars .
Biology:
- Cell – The Fundamental Unit of Life: Studies the cell as the basic structural and functional unit of life , including cell discovery, plasma membrane, cell wall, cell organelles (mitochondria, chloroplasts, Golgi apparatus, etc.), and cell division (mitosis and meiosis).
- Tissues: Explores multi-cellular organization by studying plant tissues (meristematic and permanent tissues) and animal tissues (epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous tissues) .
- Reproduction: Introduces the core concepts of asexual and sexual reproduction, reproductive structures in plants, and basic human reproductive systems along with health and hygiene awareness .
- Diversity in Living Organisms / Patterns in Life: Focuses on the classification of plants and animals, the hierarchy of classification categories, binomial nomenclature, and the importance of biodiversity .
