The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is one of the renowned educational boards in India. CBSE conducts Class 10 board exams every year, mostly in the month of March. The main aim of the board is to provide the best education to all its learners so that they can excel in their academic careers.
Class 9 is a very crucial stage in a student’s life. All the basic concepts and fundamentals for the Class 10 board exam are taught in this class. And science is a subject that is filled with various theories and principles. Students are advised to learn the concept of science properly in order to score well in their exams. Practising important marks-wise questions is one of the best ways to prepare for the Class 9 examination. The important 5 marks question for Class 9 science is given here so that students can prepare more effectively.
Solving the questions on a regular basis will give students an idea about the question pattern and the difficulty level of the questions. The questions are designed by subject experts following the latest CBSE Class 9 Science syllabus.
The important 5-mark questions for Class 9 science is given below.
