Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) – 2025-26 Edition
Why did NCERT change the Class 6 Science book to “Curiosity”?
The change was made to implement the NEP 2020 framework. The “Curiosity” textbook moves away from rote learning and emphasizes experiential learning, critical thinking, and a deeper connection to the environment.
What is the marking scheme for the new CBSE Class 6 Science pattern?
While school-specific, the current trend emphasizes Case-Based Questions and Assertion-Reasoning types. EduGrown recommends focusing on the “Activity” boxes within each chapter, as many questions are derived directly from these experiments.
Are these solutions helpful for Olympiads and competitive exams?
Absolutely. Since the new syllabus is built on conceptual clarity, these notes serve as an excellent foundation for exams like NSO (National Science Olympiad) and other foundation-level competitive tests.
How is “Temperature” different from “Heat” in Chapter 7?
This is a common point of confusion. The chapter clarifies that while heat is a form of energy, temperature is the measure of the degree of hotness or coldness of an object.
Where can I find digitized diagrams for my notes?
EduGrown provides high-quality, computerized versions of all textbook diagrams—from the water cycle to magnetic fields—to help students with their project work and exam preparation.
