This document lists 50 practical experiments for 9th and 10th grade biology classes. It includes experiments on observing bacteria, plant and animal cells under a microscope, studying plant and animal tissues, investigating processes like photosynthesis, respiration, enzyme action, seed germination and more. Many experiments involve dissection of specimens like frogs, examination of plant structures, testing food samples, studying human physiology aspects like pulse rate, and small investigations of ecosystems. The practical experiments cover a wide range of topics from cells to systems.
