MARKING SCHEME
SCIENCE
Class – IX
General Instructions :
1. The Marking Scheme provides general guidelines to reduce subjectivity and maintain
uniformity. The answers given in the marking scheme are the best suggested answers.
2. Marking be done as per the instructions provided in the marking scheme. (It should not be
done according to one’s own interpretation or any other consideration). Marking Scheme
be strictly adhered to and religiously followed.
3. Alternative methods be accepted. Proportional marks be awarded.
4. If a question is attempted twice and the candidate has not crossed any answer, only first
attempt be evaluated and ‘EXTRA’ written with second attempt.
5. In case where no answers are given or answers are found wrong in this Marking Scheme,
correct answers may be found and used for valuation purpose.

The desirable characters can be introduced into crop varieties. 1

10. (a) Surface area – As surface area increases, more number of particles get 1
converted into vapours , and rate of evaporation increases
(b) Temperature – with increase in temperature, kinetic energy of the 1
particles of liquid also increases and rate of evaporation increases
(c) Humidity – As humidity in air increases, rate of evaporation decreases 1

16. (a) Because the truck has greater momentum 1

(b) As mass of truck is greater than mass of mini bus so truck has greater 1
change in momentum
(c) Mini bus will have greater acceleration. 1

17. (a) Due to inertia of direction, wheels rotate at high speed and mud sticking 1
to the wheel flies off tangentially.
(b) This increases the time of catching, decreases the acceleration of the 1
ball, hence force exerted on the hands is less.
(c) high velocity of pebbles, decreases to zero in a very short interval of 1
time it remains in contact with glass pane for longer duration and
shatters the glass pane.

(ii) Value of g varies but value of G remains constant.
(iii) g is vector and G is scalar quantity.

20. X – Intercropping pattern ½

Y – Crop rotation ½
Intercropping ensures maximum utilization of the nutrients supplied and
prevents pest, disceases from spreading to all the plants belonging to one crop. 1x2
Crop rotation replenish soil with different nutrients. 1
Two or three crops can be grown in a year with good harvests. 1

21. (a) ● Take 2 -3 crystals of Copper sulphate and dissolve in 100 mL of

water
● Take out approximate 10 mL of this solution and put it into
90 mL of clear water.
● Take out 10 mL of this solution and put it into another 90 mL of
clear water.
● Keep diluting

sulphate.
Observation : 2
(a) A crystal of copper sulphate contains millions of tiny particles which
keep on dividing into smaller and smaller number with each dilution. 1

(a) Particles of sugar crystals occupy the space between the particles of
water.
(b) The excess heat from the body is taken by large latent heat of
vapourisation of water. As a result temperature of body decreases.
