# Important 5 Marks Questions For Class 9 Science

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is one of the renowned educational board in India. CBSE conducts the class 10 board exam 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 career.

Class 9 is a very crucial stage in a students life. All the basic concepts and fundamentals for class 10 board exam are taught in this class. And science is a subject that is filled with various theories and principals. Students are advised to learn the concept of science properly to in order to score well in their exam. Practicing important marks-wise question 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 idea about the question pattern and the difficulty level of the questions. The questions are designed by subject expert following the latest CBSE class 9 science syllabus.
