Class 9 — Biology

These chapters cover health organisations and waste generation and management. The material defines biology as the study of living beings and explains why scientists now call it life science. Use these PDFs to understand the public health and environmental topics that appear in the Class 9 syllabus.

Class 9 — Chemistry

These 21 chapters cover element symbols, valency, radicals, compound formulae, and balancing chemical equations. The material includes valency charts, the modern periodic table, and revision equations for practice. Use these PDFs to master the language of chemical reactions before Class 10 bonding and electrolysis.

Class 9 — Mathematics

These 28 chapters cover rational and irrational numbers, compound interest, expansions, factorisation, and framing of formulae. The PDFs include exercises on identifying terminating decimals by checking the denominator's prime factors. Use them to build the algebra and number-system skills needed for Class 10.

Class 9 — Physics

These 10 chapters cover measurements and experimentation, motion in one dimension, laws of motion, pressure in fluids, atmospheric pressure, upthrust, Archimedes' principle, and heat and energy. The material covers vernier callipers, screw gauge, and the simple pendulum. Use these PDFs to learn precise measurement and the laws governing motion.

Class 10 — Biology

These 14 chapters cover chromosome structure, cell division, genetics, absorption by roots, transpiration, photosynthesis, and the circulatory system. The material revises cell biology before moving to inheritance and plant physiology. Use these PDFs to prepare for the board exam topics that carry the most marks.

Class 10 — Chemistry

These 13 chapters cover the periodic table, chemical bonding, acids, bases, salts, analytical chemistry, mole concept, stoichiometry, and electrolysis.

How to use these chapter PDFs for ICSE exam preparation

Downloading a PDF is only the first step. To get real value, you need a system for working through each chapter. Here is a method that works across subjects and classes.

• Read the learning objectives first. Every chapter opens with a list of goals. Read them before the chapter so you know what to look for.
• Write definitions in your own words. Copying a definition does not mean you understand it. Close the PDF and try to write it from memory.
• Work the solved examples on paper. Cover the solution, try the problem yourself, then check your steps against the book.
• Attempt every exercise. The exercise sets at the end of each chapter are where most exam questions come from. Do not skip them.
• Mark your mistakes. Keep a separate notebook for errors. Write the question, your wrong answer, and the correct method. Review this notebook before every test.

For more textbook resources across all ICSE classes, you can browse our ICSE books directory. If you want downloadable PDFs organised by subject, the ICSE books PDF collection lists every available file.

Common mistakes students make while studying these chapters

Students often lose marks not because they do not know the topic, but because of small, repeatable errors. Here are the ones that show up most often across these PDFs.

What these PDFs cover inside each subject
