Studied? Yes!

Electricity and Magnetism, Two seemingly different topics ( atleast till grade 9) are actually just two different faces of a coin, one is related to the other, one instigates the other.  Taught to high schoolers in vast detail, it carries as much importance in our report cards as it does in our real life ( Now, imagine living your life without TV or your laptop , these devices use both magnetism and electricity! That is the percentage of  importance it plays in our report cards too ( *gulp*)) Hence, in this blog we will go through the important formulas, units and concepts in these chapters  So, let's start!    Important units and formulas 1) Electric charge -- Coloumb                               -- CGS Unit - Electrostatic unit (esu) ( 1 Coloumb = 3 * 10⁹ esu)                               -- Faraday ...

Omnis Cellula e cellula.  This statement from a man named Rudolf Virchow changed the entire outlook of biology and how organisms funtion. How our body functions. This statement must have clearly baffled your brain, more likely to think it as gibberish. But don't worry. If your brain declares this as Greek and Latin, congratulate it, as it is right. Ironically it is Latin. It basically means:- "Every new cell arises from old ones" And in this blog, we will see how this german scientist 's Latin statement shook the Biology world in English. 😜 But before we begin, we need to learn the meanings of few basic terms which will be repeated throughout the blog Common terms and Definition :- 1) Chromosomes :- These are the cell organelles which contain the genetic material.  2) Chromatin :- This is the network inside the cell nucleus which contains the DNA material. The chromatin network condenses to form Chromosomes when dividing.   3) Centromere and sister chromatids :- ...

  First, Before we talk about anything else , we need to clear this one thing up  ...What is the Periodic Table? Periodic Table may be defined as the arrangement of all the known elements according to their properties in such a way that the element of similar properties are grouped together in a tabular form. Its a periodic representation of all the elements, in a table ( But, you will be surprised by the amount of information the scientist were able to pack in one chart! )  *The Periodic Table is divided into 1) 18 vertical columns , also called Groups  2) 7 horizontal rows , also called Periods 3) Its divided into 4 blocks (namely s,p,d and f) -- This tells us about the electronic configuration of the element , the subshells or orbitals present in the orbits If you are wondering what "s, p ,d and f" orbital is:- Within the shells, electrons are further grouped into subshells of four different types, identified as s, p, d, and f in order of increasing energy. We ca...

  Well, as much as we belong to History, It definitely has shown copious belonging to our marks card and competitve exams. NTSE is one such exam, which includes all the History lessons we have learnt throughout our Middle and High school. Hence as a continuation of the previous blog ( If you haven't read the previous blog , click here!   10th Grade_NTSE Portions  ), We will be dealing with the 9th grade syllabus of NTSE History preparations, a small chunk of the big whole.  ( Click on the images to maximise it!)  Pivotal People and their work  Hope this helps you! 

    Aptitude tests / Mental Ability is one stream which is vital in every competitive exam.  Involving tedious mental calculations and applications , this subject deals with problems which we need to reason out and analyse very closely.  In this blog, I have put together few important topics and formulas from various  Mental Ability chapters. Calendar In an ordinary year , the first day and the last day of the year are same In a leap year , the first and last day will be subsequent days  ( Odd days -- Odd days basically means the number of days which donot form a complete week , for example 365 days forms 52 weeks and 1 day , hence this extra 1 days forms the odd day in a ordinary year)  Ordinary year = 1 odd day Leap year = 2 odd days 100 years = 5 odd days 200 years = 3 odd days 300 years = 1 odd day 400 years = 0 odd days No. of leap years in  100 years = 24 leap years 200 years = 48 leap years 300 years = 72 leap years 400 years = 97 leap y...

 The feeling of nationalism spread in Europe and deeply affected European history as much as it did affect our History textbooks and report cards, but the influence it had on this country, almost 6,467 km away, will surely make you gape in awe. And 'this' country which we are talking about is Our beloved 'India'. In this History Blog, we will be going through all the important dates and events mentioned in the chapter "Nationalism In India", helping us to brush up through all the vital concepts!  (If you haven't read the Nationalism in Europe blogs  Click here   or  here! )  So, Let's start  1) 1913 - 1918 - Prices doubling leading to hardships for common people 2) 1918 - 19 and 1920-21 - Crop failure - famine 3) January 1915 - Gandhi returned to India 4) 1916 - Champaran in Bihar - Peasants against plantation  5) 1917 - Kheda, Gujarat - Peasants protested against Revenue 6) 1918 - Ahmedabad - Cotton Mill workers protest 7) 1919 - Rowlatt A...

"The quality of mangoes were not good" "His knowledge on Indian vernaculars are far beyond the common" "The president, as well as the councillors, are in a meeting" Do you feel the above sentences are correct?  These statements might sound correct but in actuality are grammatically erroneous.   Every time you answer your grandmom's question, over the phone, by saying "Everyone are fine here, How are you?" Wren and Martin turn  in their graves... You might wonder,  Why are they wrong? This is because the Subject does not agree with the verb in these statements...  In today's blog, we will be learning more about this Subject's and Verb's agreement with each other and how this international treaty, if broken,  wreaks havoc in every student's English exam and our everyday conversations  Subject-Verb agreement / Subject-verb concord basically states that the Verb must agree with its Subject in Number and Person.  If the subject...
