NCERT Class 6 Science
Class 6 Science: Curiosity chapter-wise practice
Curiosity is built around small experiments and questions like "what do you think will happen?". Each chapter here starts with a hands-on activity, such as separating mixtures or sorting materials, followed by questions that check the idea and not just the definition.

Where does the study time go?
Middle school days are long. Six subjects, projects, the commute and often tuition in the evening. Children spend plenty of hours on studies but get very little quiet time to study on their own, and a gap in one chapter quietly carries over into the next.
Tuition is fine, and plenty of children need it. But a tutor with eight or ten children in one batch cannot sit with each of them, and cannot always keep track of what the school did that week. Sometimes the tuition follows its own order of chapters, the child ends up juggling two plans for the same subject, and the confusion shows up in the next test.
NoTuition.in gives that small window some shape: the chapter your child is doing in school, a short activity, practice that explains every mistake, and a clear view for you of what needs work.
Practise Class 6 Science the way the book teaches it
The free plan opens one full chapter in every subject, so you can see how your child gets on before you pay anything.
