Manipur Board Class 9 Practical/ Experiments List and Model Write up

Science – List of Experiments

• Preparation of a true solution of common salt, sugar and alum,  a suspension of soil, chalk powder and fine sand in water and a colloidal solution of starch in water and egg albumin/milk in water and distinguish between these on the basis of transparency, filtration criterion, and stability
• Preparation of A mixture, A compound using iron filings and sulphur powder and distinguishing between these on the basis of: appearance, i.e., homogeneity and heterogeneity, behaviour towards a magnet, behaviour towards carbon disulphide as a solvent, and effect of heat
• Separation of the components of a mixture of sand, common salt and ammonium chloride (or camphor).
• Perform the following reactions and classify them as physical or chemical changes: Iron with copper sulphate solution in water, Burning of magnesium ribbon in air, Zinc with dilute sulphuric acid, Heating of copper sulphate crystals, Sodium sulphate with barium chloride in the form of their solutions in water
• Preparation of stained temporary mounts of onion peel, human cheek cells & to record observations and draw their labelled diagrams.
• Identification of Parenchyma, Collenchyma and Sclerenchyma tissues in plants, striped, smooth and cardiac muscle fibres and nerve cells in animals, from prepared slides. Draw their labelled diagrams.
• Determination of the melting point of ice and the boiling point of water.
• Verification of the Laws of reflection of sound.
• Determination of the density of solid (denser than water) by using a spring balance and a measuring cylinder
• Establishing the relation between the loss in weight of a solid when fully immersed in Tap water Strongly salty water with the weight of water displaced by it by taking at least two different solids
• Determination of the speed of a pulse propagated through a stretched string/slinky (helical spring).
• Study of the characteristics of Spirogyra, Agaricus, Moss, Fern, Pinus (either with male or female cones) and an Angiospermic plant. Draw and give two identifying features of the groups they belong to.
• Observe the given pictures/charts/models of earthworm, cockroach, bony fish and bird. For each organism, draw their picture and record: one specific feature of its phylum. one adaptive feature with reference to its habitat.
• Verification of the law of conservation of mass in a chemical reaction.
• Study of the external features of root, stem, leaf and flower

Here we have shared some basic tips which help students in Class 9 exam preparation.

• Identify your weak areas and allot time to strengthen them. Seek help from your teachers and classmates. You can also educate yourself using the internet.
• Make a schedule and stick to it under all circumstances.
• Allocate time to revision; it helps you to understand and recall the concept better.
• Do not start a new chapter before the day of the exam; leave it if you have not touched it till now. Starting a new chapter at the last minute only wastes valuable time, and you can not absorb all its concepts in a hurried glimpse.
• Solve previous year question papers and sample papers as much as possible. You will learn the pattern of the question paper and important topics. Also, you will learn to manage your time in exams.
• Once you learn a new formula, try to solve it numerically. Make a table of important formulas. It will help you to revise just before the exam

BSEM Class 9 Exam Taking Strategy

• Do not begin writing your answers as soon as you receive your exam question paper. Read it carefully, list the questions you can answer well, and manage your time accordingly.
• Even though the exam is 3 hours long, ensure you finish 15 minutes early so you can double-check your answers and correct any errors.
• Last but not least, prevent any unethical practices during the exam.

Manipur Board Class 9 Detailed Study Plan

Preparing a study plan is an important stage before you start preparing for the Class 9 exam. Here, we will help you prepare a study plan that can help you pass the exam with flying colours:

1. Apart from Mathematics, devote 1-1.5 hours every day to all other topics.
2. Mathematics requires a lot of practice, so allocate at least 2 hours for Maths.
3. Set aside 1.5 hours for Science revision. Within this 1.5 hour, assign time for Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. On any given day, you can study one, two, or all three Science papers, depending on your convenience and need.
4. Similarly, set aside 1.5 hours for revision of the Social Sciences (History, Geography, Civics, etc.).
5. Each day, devote one hour to one of the literature topics (English, Hindi, or Sanskrit). If you study English from 8 to 9 pm on Monday, you should study Hindi/Sanskrit from 8 to 9 pm on Tuesday.
6. Be willing to adjust your schedule according to your abilities, convenience and need.
