ICSE Class 6 Biology Books – Chapters, Practice & PDFs

The ICSE Class 6 biology books on this page list one chapter so far: Chapter 9, Pollution and Pollutants, from the Biology textbook. The chapter’s PDF opens straight from the directory below. This page is part of the ICSE Class 6 books collection, where chapters appear as they are read from their textbooks.

A PDF shows you the chapter. This page adds what the PDF alone does not: Chapter 9’s 20 sections, its 11 practice questions and its 11 pages, counted from the book. Every count can be checked against the PDF in the directory below.

ICSE Class 6 Biology Books: what is inside each chapter

Each column in the directory counts something from the chapter. A section is one of the book’s own main headings; sub-headings are not counted. A practice question is a numbered item under an exercise heading. Pages are the chapter’s pages in the PDF.

Chapter 9: Pollution and Pollutants (Biology)

Chapter 9 opens by separating the two terms that name it: pollution is the harm done to the environment, and a pollutant is the substance that causes it. It then works through the major kinds of pollution — air, water, soil and noise — in that order, with effects for each and prevention for air, water and noise. The Green House Effect sits inside the air pollution part, between Air Pollution and Effects of Air Pollution.

The later sections cover how to control pollution, Van Mahotsava, the conservation of resources and steps to conserve water, and Scientific Terms to Remember reviews the chapter’s key words.

  • Pollution and Pollutants
  • Pollution and Pollutant
  • Major Kinds of Pollution
  • Air Pollution
  • Green House Effect
  • Effects of Air Pollution

and 14 more

The chapter’s single exercise, Review Questions, sets 11 questions that cover all four kinds of pollution.

How to revise Class 6 Biology chapter by chapter

  1. Fix the two opening terms first: pollution is the harm done to the environment, and a pollutant is the substance that causes it. The sections that follow apply these terms to each kind of pollution.
  2. Work through the four kinds in the book’s order — air, water, soil and noise — pairing each kind with its effects section, and its prevention section where the chapter sets one.
  3. Read the general control and conservation sections: How to Control Pollution ?, Van Mahotsava, Conservation of Resources and Steps to conserve water.
  4. Learn the Scientific Terms to Remember list, then attempt the 11 Review Questions as a self test.

This is the first Biology chapter on this page. Chapters 1 to 8 of the book are not here yet and will be added as they are read from the textbook. For now, Chapter 9 is the chapter to revise, and its PDF sits in the directory at the top of the page.

Sources and data verification

The counts on this page describe Chapter 9, Pollution and Pollutants, of the Biology book — the book the directory names. Every count was read from the book itself, not from a summary.

The numbers you see — 20 sections, 11 practice questions, 11 pages — can be checked against the chapter’s PDF in the directory above.

This page covers 1 chapter of the Biology book so far. These chapters are not on this page yet:

  • Biology: chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 are not on this page yet.

CISCE sets the ICSE syllabus and conducts the examinations, so the official CISCE website is the place to check the syllabus and exam requirements. Schools choose the textbooks themselves, and CISCE prescribes none of them — including the Biology book this page describes.

Class 6 Biology books: frequently asked questions

How many chapters of the ICSE Class 6 Biology book are on this page?

One so far: Chapter 9, Pollution and Pollutants, from the Biology book. Chapters 1 to 8 are being added as they are read from the textbook. The total chapter count varies by edition, because CISCE prescribes no single textbook.

Is the Chapter 9 Pollution and Pollutants PDF free to download?

Yes. The PDF in the directory above opens and downloads free, and it is the chapter as printed in the Biology book this page’s counts describe. If you want the chapter on its own, the Pollution and Pollutants chapter page carries it.

Which chapter covers the greenhouse effect in ICSE Class 6 Biology?

Chapter 9. In this book, the Green House Effect sits inside the air pollution part of the chapter, between Air Pollution and Effects of Air Pollution. It is not a separate chapter.

What is the difference between pollution and a pollutant?

Pollution is the harm done to the environment. A pollutant is the substance that causes that harm. The chapter opens by defining both terms.

Where are the practice questions for Chapter 9 of the Biology book?

The chapter’s single exercise is Review Questions, which sets 11 numbered questions. They cover all four kinds of pollution — air, water, soil and noise. Work through them after you have learned the chapter’s sections.
