PREFACE
While designing the book, our main intention was to create a book that would act as a single point of
reference for students. We wanted this book to provide students, the much needed answers for their
textual questions as well as build up their knowledge quotient in the process.

T
Science and Technology: Std. IX has been prepared as per the new syllabus and paper pattern
which is more child-centric and focuses on active learning along-with making the process of
education more enjoyable and interesting.

N
We have infused the book with a liberal sprinkling of real life examples, pictorial explanations and
additional questions. Questions titled under 'Use your brain power', 'Can you tell' and a series of 'In-
text Questions', pave the way for a robust concept building.

TE
Every chapter begins with covering all the textual content in the format of Objectives, Question -
Answers, Give Reasons, Numericals, Diagram-based questions, paragraph based questions and a
host of other Objective and Subjective type of questions. The chapter also includes Activity Based
Questions that explain certain concepts to students in a point wise manner through the medium of an
activity.
Wherever possible questions are allotted with marks in accordance with new marking scheme. The

N
question without marks can be modified as per the new marking scheme and asked in examination.
Memory maps have been included wherever needed which provides a quick revision of the
important topics of a chapter. The chapter eventually ends with a Chapter wise Assessment that
O
stands as a testimony to the fact that the child has understood the chapter thoroughly.
With absolute trust in our work, we hope, our holistic efforts towards making this book an ideal
knowledge hub for students pays off.
C
The journey to create a complete book is strewn with triumphs, failures and near misses. If you think
we’ve nearly missed something or want to applaud us for our triumphs, we’d love to hear from you.
Please write to us at: mail@targetpublications.org
A book affects eternity; one can never tell where its influence stops.
E

Best of luck to all the aspirants!
