About the Book

I take sincere pride in presenting Gateway to Science-Biology for Class 9, written strictly according to the NCERT Textbook and the latest rationalized Syllabus and Examination Pattern prescribed by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), New Delhi. It has been written keeping in view the needs of the students as well as the teachers.
Biology, which includes the study of living organisms and different life processes, plays an important role in understanding the complex forms of life. It is a very interesting subject that helps students to see the holistic view of life and gives them a much better understanding of different living beings, and how they interact with their environment. If a student adopts a systematic learning approach like drawing, labeling, and writing detailed explanations along with experimentation, it will make him/her experience a joyful journey of learning.
