CLASS 9 SCIENCE – EASY NOTES
1. Fossil Fuel: Coal and Petroleum
Fossil fuels are coal, petroleum, and natural gas. They are formed over millions of years from dead
plants and animals. They are non-renewable and cause pollution.
2. Combustion and Flame
Combustion is burning in the presence of oxygen. It produces heat and light. A flame has three
zones. The outer zone is the hottest.
3. Cell Structure and Function
A cell is the smallest unit of life. Main parts are nucleus, cytoplasm, and cell membrane. Plant cells
have a cell wall and chloroplast.
4. Reproduction in Plants and Animals
Reproduction is producing new living beings. It can be sexual or asexual. It helps continue life.
5. Force, Friction and Pressure
Force changes motion or shape. Friction opposes motion. Pressure is force per unit area.
6. Sound and Its Basics
Sound is produced by vibrations. It travels through solids, liquids, and gases.
7. Reflection and Dispersion of Light
Reflection is bouncing back of light. Dispersion splits white light into seven colors.
8. Metals and Non-Metals
Metals are shiny and good conductors. Non-metals are dull and poor conductors.
9. Synthetic Fibres and Plastics
Synthetic fibres are man-made. Plastics are strong but cause pollution.
10. Chemical Effects of Electric Current
Electric current can cause chemical changes like electroplating.
11. Stars and Solar System
The solar system includes the Sun, planets, and moons. The Sun is a star.
12. Pollution of Air and Water
Pollution harms humans, plants, and animals.
13. Global Warming
Global warming is rise in Earth’s temperature due to greenhouse gases.
14. Micro-Organisms
Micro-organisms are tiny living beings. Some are useful, some harmful.
15. Some Natural Phenomena
Includes lightning and earthquakes. Safety is important.
16. Calorific Value of Fuel
Calorific value is heat produced by fuel.
17. Electroplating and Artificial Jewellery
Electroplating coats one metal over another.
18. Types of Friction
Static > Sliding > Rolling friction.
19. Cropping Seasons
Kharif, Rabi, and Zaid crops grow in different seasons.
20. Agricultural Practices
Steps include sowing, irrigation, harvesting.
21. Conservation of Plants and Animals
Protection of wildlife and forests.
22. Biosphere Reserves, National Parks, Sanctuaries
Protected areas for plants and animals.
23. Reaching the Age of Adolescence
Stage of growth from child to adult.
24. Changes During Puberty
Physical changes due to hormones.
25. Endocrine Glands and Hormones
Hormones control growth and body functions.
