Class 9 Science Experiments List
Practical should be conducted alongside the concepts taught in theory classes.
A. (Unit I Chapter 2) Preparation of:
- a true solution of common salt,sugar and alum
- a suspension of soil, chalk powder and fine sand in water
- a colloidal solution of starch in water and egg albumin/milk in water and distinguish between these on the basis of
- transparency
- filtration criterion
- stability
B. (Unit I Chapter 2) 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
- effect of heat
<red> ❌ <red> (Unit I) Separation of the components of a mixture of sand, common salt and ammonium chloride (or camphor).
C. (Unit I Chapter 2) 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.
