CBSE Class 9 Science Practical Syllabus 2023-24: Preparing for theory paper as well as doing well in practical exam is equally important for the overall performance of a student. Practical work helps students understand how the principles behind theoretical concepts work in actuality. It stimulates the curious minds of students that helps in developing their critical thinking capability and problem solving skills. Practical work should be done with complete attention maintaining a record of all experiments for final assessment.
In this article, you can check the CBSE Class 9 Science Practical Syllabus prescribed by CBSE for the academic session 2023-24. This syllabus has a list of experiments that must be performed throughout the year. There are a total of 11 experiments mentioned in the CBSE Class 9 Science Practical Syllabus 2023-24. Practical work carries a weightage of 5 marks towards the final result. Students can easily secure these five marks by showing little concentration and dedication towards the practical work. The CBSE Class 9 Science Practical Syllabus 2023-24 can also be downloaded in PDF from the direct link mentioned in this article.
